If you're giving solids - advice wanted

EStar628

My pedi recommended starting with rice cereal then doing orange veggies, then green veggies and lastly fruit.?Her reasoning being that orange veggies are usually a baby favorite and and the baby will like those easier than green veggies. ?She says to save fruit for last because if the baby starts with them, they may refuse the veggies because they're not as sweet.

I have 2 friends that recommended doing avacado after rice cereal because it has great nutrients.?

I guess I'm just wondering what order you introduced fruits and veggies. TIA!?

I was told not to start with green veggies because it could make them gassy and uncomfortable and then they wouldnt want to try anything else.  I'm sure there are a million different schools of thought but your suggestion sounds good.

I haven't started solids yet nor have I talked to pedi about it yet but I've heard the same things that your pedi suggested to you.

See my Blog for tips on starting solids and cereal.  I have a list of the solids we tried in order

Hope it helps!

We actually started with rice cereal, then peaches. Carrots were his first veggie, then sweet potatoes and squash, then green beans and peas. He LOVES peas, so it has nothing to do with the order in which we introduced them. He's not a fan of green beans.

My pedi said to start fruit first, then veggies.  We tried applesauce today for the first time and it went over well.  But I kinda agree on the starting less sweet stuff first?  But I will stick to pedi recommendation

We started with rice cereal, then went to the green veggies.  She hates the greens, but seems to like the yellows and oranges are ok.  We have moved to fruits which she loves!

we've been advised to start veggies after rice cereal.  yellow/orange veggies.  then green.  then fruit.

Rice cereal for two weeks then offered DD squash today.  She loved it.
