Do any of you give raw veggies?

Like raw baby carrots or sliced green peppers? I always cook them but I was wondering if I could give him a raw carrot to snack on...

    I don't because she can't chew them yet.  I still steam all her veggies, but I leave them a little al dente (sp?-like pasta).

    We started around 15 months, but we still watch him VERY carefully.  I have knowing people that gave carrot sticks at 11 months though.  It all depends on your DC I think.  My DC wasn't a good chewer, so we held off for awhile.

    DD has all of her teeth (except her second year molars), but I still don't feel comfortable giving her raw veggies.

    I might ask our pedi about it at her 15-month check-up next week.

    I give soft ones, like tomatoes, cucumbers, mushrooms, olives. Nothing hard like carrots. Not enough teeth I don't think.

    Yes, but not hard foods like carrots. But I do give dd strips of red bell pepper, cucumber and other softer veggies- she has no problem with those.?

    DS can eat corn, carrots, and green peppers.  It takes him a long time to chew the carrots and peppers, but he HATES them steamed.

    DD LOVES raw veggies....I gave her sliced green peppers on day at a friends, like off a veggie tray, and she went to TOWN!  She likes peppers, cucumbers, tomatos....thats all i can think of....Havent given her carrots, I'd think they were too hard
