Solids ?

We just started DS with carrots on Sunday.  This was his first beside the cereals.  So he'll finish up the carrots tomorrow.  Then on Thursday I guess we'll try something else new (probably green beans).

My question is, when do we start mixing say carrots and green beans. I know that we have to give it a few days with the green beans first to make sure there is no allergy.  So do we go thru vegetables and fruits to make sure he has no allergies then start mixing stuff together?

We offered DS mixed foods once the individual foods had been introduced separately with no reaction.  After we were a few weeks into trying solids, I would sometimes give him a food for the first time mixed with other things he'd already tried.  For example, his first exposure to lentils was in a mix of rice and lentils.  I didn't give him lentils separately first and then give him the mix.  By then, though, he'd had plenty of rice with no reaction.
