Use breast milk or formula to dilute purées that seem too thick.
Introduce one food at a time for three days to detect a food intolerance.
Feed your baby with your finger if he rejects a spoon.
Try and sit as a family, relax and enjoy as your baby explores new textures
and tastes.
Remember that introducing new foods into your baby's diet is a process of
trial and error. A food she refuses today may become her favourite tomorrow.
Invest in a PVC 'splat mat' to catch the mess on the floor and allow baby to
practice his technique with one spoon while you continue to feed him with another.
Save your baby's half-eaten food (bacteria in your baby's saliva will get into
the food).
Use bottled mineral water in feeds (they are not always sterile and tend to
have a high sodium content).
