Hiya, my dd is 21 wks and over the last few days I have been giving her a few spoonfuls of baby rice in the mornings about 30-60mins after her bottle of milk (which was 7oz but cut it to 6oz as use 1oz to make up the baby rice) but when shall I start mixing in apple/pear or any puree??
I can't remember from when I had my ds

Thanks in advance

You can start straight onto fruit or veg, no need for rice at all as far as I know.

If you think your little one is ready for something other than baby rice, it's sometimes quite good to try the pear one with a teeny bit of either her milk or the baby rice, so she gets used to the taste. Tbh, I don't see any harm in giving it to her 'straight' but it might be easier on you the way above. Mine's taken to it really well as a result.
