Today's first time parenting tip - Give your baby his favorite, healthy foods and encourage him to try new ones

It may take up to ten tries for a baby to learn to like a food, so when you get success with one it's tempting to serve that up every time. It's always good to have some old, reliable comfort food you can count on him to eat, but it's also good to introduce new foods to give him a wide, varied palate.

The eating habits you set up in the first two years are the one's they'll have for the rest of their lives. So my son will probably enjoy these 5 foods well into his adult years. They're all pretty safe, but if your infant hasn't tried them yet, give it a whirl.

• Bananas
• Cheerios and Goldfish
• Eggs with and without vegetables
• Spaghetti
• Yogurt

Honorable Mention - Wheat Bread
