Hello. According to me, fresh cooked home food is best for weaning compared to packaged food items. So, it's better to give all home cooked mashed food. Start with rice and gradually you can add on one more solid cereal after 2-3 weeks once baby starts digesting it well. Mashed fruits are good option. Continue your breastfeeding as well as 2 nd priority.
