How should I introduce new solid foods?

To introduce a new food to your baby, make sure you pair it with something the baby is already comfortable with. The first time, you're going to be using a bland solid food, like a vegetable or a rice cereal, and the baby will likely take it very well. But, as you start introducing things that are more difficult, or more flavorful, you want to make sure you pair it with something the baby has already tried. Don't introduce a new food any faster than every few days so that you can make sure your baby's not allergic to it.
