"Our big man had real food today!!! Seriously cherishing these memories & moments forever ?  it was so cute seeing T eat food." 

"After reading up on it, we decided to lead with something less sweet first since babies tend to like sweets (obviously, lol), so he tried organic mashed avocado first, and he absolutely LOVED it. He kept grabbing the spoon and wanting more," she continued. 

Then the doting mother mentioned that she tried "organic puréed butternut squash," which Tristan absolutely "loved and kept wanting more." In the concluding part, she penned:

"Big day for Tristan Jay ?," and extended a listening ear to parents who would like to discuss how they started incorporating food into their baby's meals.

A slew of fans came through with their experiences in the comments. One wrote, "Love the advice and content from @solidstarts ! We didn't do a puree phase, just went right to Whole Foods." 

Another observer shared, "I always did one food at a time for at least a few days, so I knew if they were allergic to something." A third typed, "Food before 1 just for fun," was my motto, and we follow babyled weaning!"

Others commented with some mom hacks to hopefully make the process more pleasant.
