Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Tomatoes for 8 month old?

Does anyone give their LO tomatoes (or tomato sauce)?  Any bad reactions?  wholesomebabyfood.com recommends that you wait till 10-12 months to introduce tomatoes because of their acidity but I was hoping to get DS to try spaghetti this week.

  • Yes, DS has had tomato by itself and spaghetti as well.  No problems with either.

  • I would just give it a try and see what happens. DS has reflux so we'll wait on acidic foods. From what I understand most of the age suggestions are because the food is easier to digest the older the baby is. But, since all babies are different, your LO may tolerate it earlier than another.
