DD will be 6 m in a few weeks and i'm beginning to think about what to do when i start her on solids. I've read that babies, esp bf ones, start to need to take iron on board at about this time as their stores will be running low.
Do i have to (i know i don't HAVE to do anything but you know what i mean) giver her cereals like baby rice or porridge for the iron or can i go straight on to pureed veg? Was thinking of introducing things like sweet potato, parsnip, broccoli, etc. Does this seem reasonable?
Cheers
