Do you stick with the "traditional" foods for solids...

djandkellen

e.g. butternut quash, peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, apples, pears, peaches,etc...OR do you do some "non-traditional" types of things like tomatoes, white potatoes, broccoli, etc.? ?I see people with these types of foods, and I think it's interesting! ? ?Just wanted to see what others were doing...

I'm Cuban so a lot of times he eats Cuban food, which I guess is traditional for me.  I try to keep it varied though because I don't want a picky eater later on. That said, I am fully aware that if he's going to be picky, he's going to be picky no matter what.

I do a mixture.  The more non-traditional foods she has had would be: tomatoes, new potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, avocado, mango, spinach, parsnips, plums, papaya and leeks (cooked with other things). Once she is 8 months, I am going to start her on different kinds of beans and lentils which I would assume are pretty non-traditional.  I love food and variety but DH was a very picky eater prior to getting married.  We have agreed to try and introduce our kids to all different kinds of food.  So far she has loved everything!

DD's first food ever was white potatoes

She eats what we do so she's had all kinds of stuff. I never worried about what the books say to introduce first except the bigger stuff for me like veggies before fruit. Otherwise everything is a go except nuts and honey.?
