fruits and veggies

kcampy31

Why do some people not start solids with veggies...i know the theory of why some people DO start with veggies but are there any digestive differences as to why DS should start veggies later or is it just preference?

One theory I've heard (and this is certainly true with DD) is that if you start them with the fruits they'll prefer them to the veggies and you'll have a hard time introducing the veggies later? Not sure if that's just conjecture, though.

That is what our pedi recommended. By giving fruits first your LO may prefer sweeter foods and not tolerate less sweet veggies. That is the only reason we started with veggies first.
