Adding baby juices to veggies?

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

I'm going to preface this by saying that I plan to check all fruits and veggies individually with DD to make sure she has no allergies...BUT

The homemade carrots- although fresh/ripe- seem to taste bitter. And DD definitely cringes.

My dad suggested adding a juice to it, like apple juice, to sweeten it up.

Is this something anyone else is doing, or is this an old-school, out-of-date practice?

    I've added unsweetened applesauce to veggies (avocado, squash and sweet potato)  Sort of similar to juice, but I have no idea if that is a good or bad thing.  My daughter likes it though.

    I know! I've been totally MIA for a couple of weeks! And of course, now all of my questions have built up, and I have to overload them on thebump! LOL I've just been really hung up at work lately, and our home computer is getting worked on, so... less bumping time Sad

    I think you could do it.  And, not sure if this is old school, either...but, when I made my own food for DS, pedi said that I should not make my own carrots due to nitrate levels, and that baby food companies remove the nitrates when cooking (not sure how).  So, I always made everything and bought carrots.  I think it was around 9-10 months that she said this was no longer necessary.

    I just read this in one of my baby food recipe books. Add a small bit of apple or grape juice.

    I am not adding juice of any kind or feeding juice directly because I feel that it's unnecessary, especially so young - but that's just my choice.

    Do you breastfeed?  Could you add some breastmilk - that's what I tried.
