Explanation:

Pediatric guidelines recommend introducing iron-rich foods first when starting solids (around 6 months) because infants' iron stores from birth deplete around this time. Avoiding vegetables until 12 months is not recommended, fruit juice is not advised as an early solid, and adult protein foods are not appropriate for initial solid intake.

Answer:

first introduce iron-rich solid foods, like cereals
