make sure no foods have fake sugar like sucralose or aspartame.

make sure no foods contain too much sodium per serving or high fructose corn syrup!

Answer 2

I would start with things that children are not likely to be allergic to. Steer clear of peanuts and anything that has them in it. That is a VERY common food allergy and based on what I was told by my baby's pediatrician, children don't have an allergic reaction until the second time they have had a food they are allergic to. The body doesn't see the food as a threat until it has been introduced.. hence you get the reaction the second time you eat it.

Good first foods are anything that is soft and will smash. If it requires much chewing then I really suggest staying away from them until the babies have at least two teeth.

I am sorry but I disagree with the person who said to feed them hot dogs. Hot dogs are the number one food responsible for choking in the US. When they have teeth, or if they have teeth now I suggest cutting the ends off the hot dog, and then cutting or tearing it up into pieces smaller than a cheerio.

I cut the hot dog in half, cut those halves in half and then cut those strips of hot dog up into tiny triangles. They are pretty much choke proof if they are that small!

Answer 3

Bananas, apples, pears, hotdogs, as long as the mum says its OK to eat then you can feed it to them. When babies hit one it's like a big greenlight for a lot of foods.

Answer 4

My twin boys loves pasta, tuna fish, peas, green beans.
