@MrsH: we started with rice cereal and oatmeal cereal but the first purée we gave R was sweet potato. She loved it. She had sweet potato for the first time on Thanksgiving so she was closer to 5 months when we moved to vegetables and fruits. I figured sweet potato was a sure bet because of its sweetness.

With DS around 5 months with carrots, but started rice cereal around 4.5 months.
With DD closer to 6 months with carrots. No real why, it was just the first thing I decided on. The next few were sweet potatoes, avocado (mashed) and peaches.

Really interested in this! We'll be starting purées soon too. My friend said it's really easy to make your own, especially the beginning ones. I have a mini food processor that I think I'll use and just freeze it in ice cube trays.

We started with oatmeal + breast milk at 6 months and then moved onto sweet potatoes, carrots and butternut squash. Our pediatrician recommended starting with orange/yellow vegetables first and then move onto green ones.

6 months. He had avocado, banana, and applesauce. His favorite purée combo at that age was sweet potato/avocado/pear.
We quickly moved on to giving him tastes of whatever was on our plate at about 8 months. He stopped liking purées at about that point.

4 months - oatmeal cereal and moved to veggies two weeks later. I think carrots or sweet potatoes were first.

1 week shy of 6 months. I started with pureed roasted butternut squash I made. I wanted to start with something that was in season.

6 months. Mashed avocado and also banana in a mesh feeder
Started with those because we had them on hand the day I decided it would be fun to start solids.
