How to Introduce New Foods

• Introduce new foods one at a time, three to seven days apart. This way, if your baby has a problem, it will be easy to know which food is causing it.
• Very small amounts of food (a teaspoonful or less) should be offered at first.
• Don't try to force infants to eat new foods if they refuse. Try it again in a week or two.
• Introduce new foods when your baby is happy.
• A baby does not need added butter, margarine, salt or sweetener (sugar, honey, molasses). These seasonings make the food suit adult tastes, not baby's.

* We must be patient in introducing new foods to our baby because they are learning to taste the food. We must consider the food they like to eat. The important thing is they are starting to eat foods. As a mom we should understand them.

When I started introducing food to my baby I learn to be patient. And I never force her to eat the food she didn't like to eat because she will just vomit it. *
