Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Iron-fortified rice cereal is recommended as a first food for 6- to 9-month old children as it is easy to digest, contains nutrients such as iron and zinc, and is less likely to cause allergies compared to other first food options like eggs or dairy products. Mashed bananas can also be introduced as a second food option after rice cereal. Whole milk and egg yolks are not recommended at this age due to the risk of allergies and digestive issues.
