Apples and Carrots for LO

I keep reading that apples and carrots should not be given until 6 months. However I know my sister gave them as her kids first foods and I think I have read a couple times on here that other people did too. Well Ashley is now 5 months and already had sweet potato and banana. I don't think a couple weeks will make a difference. Anyone here already do apples and carrots? Do you know why it's recommended at 6 months and up unlike banana or avocado? Also I am reading off of Wholesomebabyfood.com

I've got a book, something like "100 Top Baby Purees" and carrots and apples are the first two things in the book!!! Bailey loves both of them. We started her on them about 2, maybe 3 weeks ago.

Brant gets both. And sometimes at the same time. I picked the carrots from the ground myself and the apples are organic. He likes them both.
