(Probably a stupid) solids question

I started DS on solids last week. So far he's tried bananas and peaches. We did bananas for 3 days and peaches for 1 day, and he gags. The peaches actually made him throw up. I switched brands, and he seems to be doing better with the bananas (I'm afraid to try the peaches again). Is this normal? I'm feeding him oatmeal along with the fruit, and I'm making sure to not feed him fast. Could he be allergic, hate it, or is just not used to the taste?

    a few things DS had a little trouble getting down at first, I would try again its probably just the flavor or texture and it hit his gag reflex.

    A few things to consider...

    1. You probably should give veggies first as I have heard babies that eat the sweet fruits first won't eat the not so sweet veggies. Just advice. Take what you want.

    2. He may not like peaches and that is ok.

    3. I agree with the above post that is could be the texture that is making him gag.

    It is very common for babies to gag ... My son didn't, but he's a piglet and eats EVERYTHING I givve him.. lol

    I thought veggies were first also but my pedi wants me to give fruits first. I hope this stops soon - I feel so bad!

    I would mix a small amount of fruit into part of his oatmeal and feed them together so he can get used to the taste.  DS gagged a lot for green veggies so i didn't give them to him.  Now at 8mo he does great feeding himself the same veggies.  He also gagged the first few times he had pears.  I mixed them with other things and he got use to the taste and now eats them straight no problem.
