For Those Who Held Off On Fruits...

We started solids 3 weeks ago and started with all veggies besides some chicken and prunes. P has loved everything we have given him - even broccoli and eggplant. So my question for those of you who started with veggies and held off on fruit is this. How long did you wait before adding some fruits? I am having fun giving him all these veggies but also feel kind of guilty for holding out so long.

    I've never heard of holding out. Why would you want to do this? Not judging, just curious.

    After we tried each veggie for the 3 day deal, we then went on to fruits. After all of those were tried we started combining.

    We didn't really do purees at all but I agree with nikki, why hold out?  Is there something new I've missed in the last 2 years? I'd think at this point there's certainly no harm in introducing fruits - solids before 1 year are for practice, not nutrition, so exposing your LO to as many tastes as possible is a good idea.  Of course when he's a toddler he will probably only eat beige food like all the other toddlers LOL

    So he gets a taste for veggies before tasting the sugar in the fruit. I really wanted him to like veggies, but it seems like he likes everything!

    Ah, yes, this.  Well, I guess that's fair although fruit's natural sweetness isn't really a concern to me but I can understand that.  Is your LO FF or BF?  I only ask because BM is really sweet so on that theory DD would never eat a veggie ever and truth is, so long as it's beige, she's alright.  She likes cauliflower.

    He is BF. Haha - I didn't realize that about BM. I guess it is time to add some more fruits. Off to make some pears :)

    My pedi recommended I introduce veggies first then fruits because of this reason.

    We only lasted a week or two before adding fruits in and they eat everything with the same gusto!  GL

    Okay. I get it. I'm super weird about what I'll let the kids eat. I cook everything so I know exactly what's in it, but I never really worried about the sugar in fruit. I just want them to enjoy eating healthy, whole foods. But I can see why you'd be afraid that he'd favor peaches over broccoli. 

    Strangely, both of my kids are more into savory foods than "sweet" ones. Maybe it's all the weird stuff I ate when I was pregnant? :)

    I've heard some hold off on fruits until veggies are full introduced and while we didn't do that (alternated between fruits & veggies), if it makes you feel any better about introducing fruits, both of my girls took fine to both fruits & veggies -- both initially and for my toddler now that she's older.  My toddler is a huge veggie lover -- she will ask to eat them with lunch (in addition to dinner) and loves really anything (broccoli, carrots, beets, corn, cauliflower, etc).  Of course she still eats fruit but I limit those to breakfast, snack and dessert.  I know every kid is different but just thought I'd add my experience in case it's helpful!
