This might take up a bit of space

Fruits and vegetables

Milk and Diary

Other cooking aids
Bicarbonate of soda, refined oils such as olive, canola, safflower, sunflower. Glucose, golder syrup, maize cornflour, milk free margarine, rice syrup (pure), sugar, wheat free baking powder, yeast (bakers/dried)
Basically the booklet says to introduce low allergy ones first and then anything not on the high allergy list and leave all the stuff on high allergy list until 12+months. But that is only neccessary if you think the baby is likely to have allergies, otherwise you can just follow the plunket guidelines for the ages to introduce each new food, it also says about introducing one food at a time so any reaction can be quickly traced and to start with a small amount of a new food and gradually increase each day if there are no symptoms
Hope that helps and thank god I can touch type

I had just been doing one food at a time, but got stuck and only had apple and mango jar. Am kinda tempted to try it again to see what happens, as I cant get a docs appt for such a long time, but think we'll move to homemade veges instead.
