How to prepare each food
Potato
Potato is always cooked, never raw. Boil, steam, bake, or roast until very soft, then mash to a smooth purée or offer a finger-length soft-cooked wedge. A little breast milk, formula, or water loosens a stiff mash. Skip salt.
Smooth mash, or a soft finger-length wedge.
Cook potato until soft; raw or undercooked potato is hard. A very sticky, gluey mash can cling to the mouth, so loosen it or serve a fluffier texture. Keep pieces small and watch as your baby eats.
Chicken
Cook chicken fully, then purée smooth or finely shred and moisten with breast milk, formula, broth, or a vegetable purée so it isn't dry. Pairing it with a vitamin-C food can help the body use its iron. As an iron-rich first food, it's a good early option.
Smooth purée, or fine moist shreds.
Egg
Hard-cook the egg until both white and yolk are solid, then mash it smooth, or offer a well-set scramble or a soft omelet. A small amount, about a third of an egg, is plenty for a first taste.
Serve as a smooth mash, soft scramble curds, or finely chopped omelet strips.
Wheat
Wheat is one of the common food allergens, so it helps to offer it on its own first, in a small amount, and watch over the next couple of days before adding other new foods. Good early forms are a thick iron-fortified wheat cereal, soft well-cooked pasta, or lightly toasted bread cut into finger-width strips. Keep everything soft and moist, with no added salt or sugar.
Spoonable cereal, soft pasta, or finger-width strips of toast.
Soft cooked wheat foods, pasta, moist bread, couscous, are low risk when kept soft and cut small. The hazards are the hard and dry forms: whole wheat kernels (wheat berries), hard crusty bread chunks, dry seeded crackers, and popcorn, which are difficult to chew and can be inhaled. Soft bread can also clump into a sticky wad in the mouth, so offer small pieces with a drink and stay nearby.
