Second the baby led weaning comment, especially as it sounds like you're waiting until 6 months anyway
There are a couple of threads on it somewhere.
And remember they are still getting good iron from breastmilk or formula ]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2010 07:15:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37080&PID=1218889&title=first-foods#1218889 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37080&PID=1218780&title=first-foods#1218780 Author: cuppatea

You can get a flaked millet that comes out like porridge, it's not too bad. I eat puffed millet as well and baby should be fine with that as it goes quite soggy if you leave it in the milk for a bit or you could give it dry as a finger food or mixed with some yoghurt once baby is old enough for dairy.

Quinoa is high in iron as well and should be ok to use.

Have a look into baby led weaning as well, I highly recommend it, is a great way to get them eating lots of different foods and you don't need to faff about with purees and mashes.]]> Sun, 12 Dec 2010 21:05:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37080&PID=1218780&title=first-foods#1218780 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37080&PID=1218744&title=first-foods#1218744 Author: Shezamumof3

Just the standard veges and fruit when they first start, they get iron from green veges.

Baby rice is good too, but my kids were too fond of it!]]> Sun, 12 Dec 2010 20:20:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37080&PID=1218744&title=first-foods#1218744 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37080&PID=1218722&title=first-foods#1218722 Author: High9

Lambs fry is a good one, I personally don't like it but DD went nuts over it!

Although I waited a few weeks before she had that as I did it with some other things too.]]> Sun, 12 Dec 2010 19:49:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37080&PID=1218722&title=first-foods#1218722 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37080&PID=1218610&title=first-foods#1218610 Author: sugarbaby

Any suggestions for first foods? we are about a month away yet, but want to be prepared. I want something high in iron, so was thinking millet.

Anyone tried that as a first food?
