Any suggestions for first foods? we are about a month away yet, but want to be prepared. I want something high in iron, so was thinking millet.
Anyone tried that as a first food? XXX ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Lambs fry is a good one, I personally don't like it but DD went nuts over it! 
Although I waited a few weeks before she had that as I did it with some other things too. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Just the standard veges and fruit when they first start, they get iron from green veges.
Baby rice is good too, but my kids were too fond of it! ------------- |

You can get a flaked millet that comes out like porridge, it's not too bad. I eat puffed millet as well and baby should be fine with that as it goes quite soggy if you leave it in the milk for a bit or you could give it dry as a finger food or mixed with some yoghurt once baby is old enough for dairy.
Quinoa is high in iron as well and should be ok to use. Have a look into baby led weaning as well, I highly recommend it, is a great way to get them eating lots of different foods and you don't need to faff about with purees and mashes. -------------

Second the baby led weaning comment, especially as it sounds like you're waiting until 6 months anyway 
There are a couple of threads on it somewhere. And remember they are still getting good iron from breastmilk or formula
