Transitioning to foods?

Hi moms! My (FTM here) little one is 5 months old so I was thinking about starting to introduce foods but I’m feeling completely lost and a bit nervous on how to go about doing this? Our pediatrician okayed starting to introduce foods in a 1 new food every 3-5 days ratio. I was just wondering how some of you are going about this process and have any advice or tips? Baby is exclusively breast fed at this time if that makes a difference. TYIA 💕 (pic so post doesn’t get lost)

My girl started foods at 4months (advised by her dr because she has been hitting milestones very early!) she’s now 5 months and LOVESSSS food. I did 1 new food every 4 days because it can take 4 days to have a reaction it’s also easier to know what the reaction was to if she had one because she’s only having one new thing! My girls now 5 months old and crawling and pulling herself onto things! She also eats stuff that’s mostly a solid now because she’s so good at it and feeding herself! Make sure to feed milk BEFORE food because it can badly hurt their tummy! (I work in a peds office and see it constantly!) also don’t start multiple things at a time! Just one new food!

@Sequoia oh how cool! what app is this??

@Sequoia I just got it! We don’t use baby food, we got a baby bullet (got it from family for Christmas!)But is definitely going to be very helpful for me and my boyfriend and babygirl in the future!

I got a sweet potatoes to start with boiled it down and mashed it, then scooped like tbsp or less into ice cube trays. Pull one out and thaw it. I plan on doing that with some other fruits and veggies.

I started with the every 3 days then stopped. I introduced new food everyday or I repeat or give her mixed purées. Shes 5 months today and started at 4 months. She’s tried so much food. She eats purées twice a day because her daycare also feeds her purées. At first she didn’t really know how to eat it but now she’s starting to chew so I will be trying her on the egg again this weekend. Now that she’s 5 months I’m gonna try baby led weaning and see what she does. I usually give her the 4oz containers and she finishes it all. I tried making my own but it didn’t feel like I was doing it right
