I have just started weaning my almost 6 month old. On the advice of my Health visitor I skipped the rice and so the first thing I tried was pureed carrots. I fed her these just at tea time. Since then I have also tried apples, pears, sweet potato and cauliflower. I now give fruit at about 9am and then savoury at 5ish. A good book I use is Top 100 Purees by Annabel Karmel.
