What was the first veggie or fruit you gave LO?

mrsf123 · April 2011

DD has been eating cereal for 2 weeks and we're going to start veggies tonight. I'm thinking Sweet Potatoes. My mom says we should give Green Beans.

What did you give first and why?

LCB34 · April 2011

We did sweet potatoes for no real reason.

wearenutts · April 2011

We gave peas because my Pedi said I should give green veggies first.

VABride2008 · April 2011

First fruit - bananas

First veggie - steamed carrots

They were both on hand, no other real reason.

Sweet potatoes. Jack hated green beans with a firey passion.

Alysonni · April 2011

Carrots for no specific reason.

This too. They just looked the least disgusting out of the options. Hah.

Bananas a little after he turned 4 mos - he HATED it at first. After the 4 day allergy trial period we moved on to sweet potatoes which he loved. He eventually started to like bananas if you were curious.

We did sweet potatoes first then the week after we did green peas and she hates green peas. I'm glad we did sweet potatoes because she loved them and I couldn't get the spoonfulls in her mouth fast enough.

M hated green beans until we started mixing meats with it. Now she will eat anything if it has a meat mixed in.

We started with carrots because it was the first recipe in my baby cookbook. DS loved them! Then we tried sweet potatoes I made which were a little too thick for him at first. Since then we've tried a ton: Broccoli, peas, green beans, butternut squash, etc.

Banana, just because I was waiting on my avocados to ripen.

jf198400 · April 2011

Carrots. I heard its better to start with veggies b/c fruits are sweeter and babies might reject the less-sweet veggies after they've had fruits. Carrots are one of my favorite vegetables so I started with that.

BC&MM · April 2011

We did avocado, then sweet potatoes, then pears, then bananas and now apples.

kah01009 · April 2011

Apples, followed quickly by pears (both big faves and easy on her tummy). She's had bananas, prunes, and peaches too. Also oatmeal, barley, and rice cereal. Oatmeal is by far the fave though. Barley is yummy in her book, but causes constipation. Carrots and peas are next! Smile

detokiet · April 2011

I think it was sweet potatoes.

delg23 · April 2011

It doesn't matter. My son didn't like sweet potatoes and liked green beans. WEIRDO! His first fruit was prunes, then sweet potatoes, then peas, then green beans. and then I don't remember.

McKenna04 · April 2011

I think we did green beans or peas first.

For fruit it was pears then applesauce.

Sweet potatoes here too - I had them in the house. Then carrots. For fruit, apples, pears and peaches. Bananas were a no go. Avocado is up this weekend.

aabreu32 · April 2011

sweet potatoes - pedi said to start with orange veggies first

lizard2850 · April 2011

We've been through so many fruits& veggies now it's tough to remember... (I have it written down at home though so it will go in DD's book)... I think the first was sweet potato, followed by avocado, apple & banana.

ImMrsMoses · April 2011

LO was having some problems with hard stools, so the doc recommended we start with the "P" foods. The foods that start with the letter P are supposed to make them poop.

So, we started with peas, then had pears and peaches, and we are on sweet potatoes now. She has loved everything so far.

irishcase · April 2011

Sweet Potatoes were first followed by avacado, bananas and then butternut squash.

I need to start her on something else today or tomorrow- I am thinking either mango or peaches.

andipandic · April 2011

We did sweet potatoes first. I had read they have a low risk of allergy so wanted to start on a positive note. She loves them and squash. Sweet peas? Not so much...
