What Do You Serve Babies at Eight-Months?Now that the baby has tasted fruits, vegetables, and single grain baby cereals you can try to introduce meat and fish, pasta, or noodles. Fruits to try after eight-months include: blueberries, cherries, cranberries, grapes, melons, watermelons, cantaloupes, mango, and papaya.
You can introduce some raw fruits now too. Vegetables, pasta, and rice should be soft cooked and mashed with a fork. While giving meat remember to cook and chop into small soft pieces.

The mom wants me to start the 6 months baby on meat today. Isn't it too soon? Should I lie and say I did but don't?
Oh no don't lie. Never lie, not worth it. Always tell the truth when dealing with children in your care. Share your concerns then do as parents instruct you to do.
