Which Do You Start First?

[mommyb]

I can't remember which babyfoods to start first! Is it fruits or vegetables? It's been so long since I've had to feed dd babyfood I can't remember which comes first!

It's kinda like the chicken or the egg question, huh?

I always started on fruits, but I have talked to just as many moms that started with the veggies. Your right it like which came first...

Vegetables are usually recommended first because of the fruits being naturally sweeter and possibly more appealing.

Mashed bananas here :P , but Amy has a good point.

Breast milk is really sweet, so it's usually believed that breastfed babies won't have sweet tooths if they start with fruit. It might even be easier to get them to eat solids if you do start with fruit.

We started with avocado. I thought we might as well do the healthiest first.

I started with pears first with both of my babies and then went to applesauce and then started veggies. Stephanie

they started us with fruits and light colored veggies....sweet potatoes, squash, etc....then green veggies....and on from there! After polling the docs in our SAHM group here lcoally, we found it was about a 50/50 split on how they did it!

Veggies here, same reason as Amy said. On the plus side, my kids love veggies now!

Veggies first makes sense. I am afraid if I give Isaac fruit first he won't take to most veggies (except sweet potatoes). Thanks guys for all your advice!
