Iya memang... yang namanya buku, situs, bisa saja bertentangan satu dgn
yg lain. Tapi kalau aku pribadi sih lebih mengacu sumber dari lembaga yg
resmi / jelas (misal WHO, AAP, IDAI). Trus perlu dipertimbangkan pula
bahwa ilmu pengetahuan berkembang terus, jadi bisa saja yg dulu
direkomendasikan, kemudian setelah penelitian lebih lanjut diperbaharui
lagi. Contoh saja masa ASI Ekslusif berubah dari 4 bln jadi 6 bln.
Balik ke MPASI pertama, ketika bayi baru pertama kali makan, kita tdk
tahu, bagaimana respon tubuh bayi terhadap jenis makanan yg dimakannya.
Namanya juga pertama kali makan. Jadi bisa saja jika bayi A pertama kali
makan pisang gak masalah, tapi buat bayi B jadi sembelit atau jadi
diare. Makanya pertama kali dipilih jenis makanan yg resikonya paling
kecil. Kalau aku mengutip dari
http://www.fns.usda.gov/tn/Resources/feeding_infants.pdf
<http://www.fns.usda.gov/tn/Resources/feeding_infants.pdf> kenapa
direkomendasikan bahan dari serelia (cereal) karena : - paling mudah
dicerna - resiko alergi paling kecil - mengandung nutrisi yg cukup -
konsistensi / kekentalannya mudah diatur sesuai pencernaan & kemampuan
makan bayi. Begitu juga disebutkann di AAP (American Academy Pediatric
- IDAI-nya Amerika )

Starting Solid Foods
When can my baby start eating solid foods?
Most babies are ready to eat solid foods at 4 to 6 months of age. Before
this age, most babies do not have enough control over their tongues and
mouth muscles. Instead of swallowing the food, they push their tongues
against the spoon or the food. This tongue-pushing reflex helps babies
when they are nursing or drinking from a bottle. Most babies lose this
reflex at about 4 months of age. Energy needs of babies increase around
this age as well, making this an ideal time to introduce solids.
You may start solid foods at any feeding. At first you may want to pick
a time when you do not have many distractions. However, keep in mind
that as your child gets older, she will want to eat with the rest of the
family.
Kinds of foods
For most babies it does not matter what the first solid foods are. Many
pediatricians recommend cereals first. The first cereals usually are
offered in this order:
* Rice cereal
* Oatmeal cereal
* Barley cereal
It is a good idea to give your baby wheat and mixed cereals last,
because they may cause allergic reactions in very young babies.
You can use premixed baby cereals in a jar or dry cereals to which you
add breast milk, formula, or water. The premixed foods may be easier to
use, but the dry ones are richer in iron and allow you to control the
thickness of the cereal. Whichever type of cereal you choose, make sure
that it is made for babies. Only baby foods contain the extra nutrients
your child needs at this age.
Once your baby learns to eat one food, gradually give him other foods
such as
* Infant cereals
* Fruit
* Strained vegetables
* Meat
Give your baby eggs last, because they occasionally cause allergic
reactions. Babies are born with a preference for sweets. The order of
introducing foods does not change this.
Give your baby one new food at a time, and wait at least 2 to 3 days
before starting another. After each new food, watch for any allergic
reactions such as diarrhea, rash, or vomiting. If any of these occur,
stop using the new food and talk with your pediatrician.
Within 2 or 3 months of starting solid foods, your baby's daily diet
should include the following foods each day:
* Breast milk or formula
* Cereal
* Vegetables
* Meats
* Fruits
Your pediatrician will help you determine if your child is overfed, not
eating enough, or eating too many of the wrong kinds of foods. Because
prepared baby foods have no added salt, you do not have to worry about
salt at this age. However, be aware of the eating habits of others in
your family. As your baby eats more and more "table foods," she will
imitate the way you eat, including using salt and nibbling on snacks.
For your child's sake as well as your own, cut your salt use and watch
how much fat you consume. Provide a good role model by eating a variety
of healthy foods.

Namanya juga bersifat rekomendasi, tentu saja ini tergantung pilihan
masing-masing, sifatnya personal. Cuma mungkin orang tua harus
hati-hati dalam memilih, krn anak bergantung dari pilihan orang tuanya.
selamat memilih... :) salam, -melani-
