Re: What was the first food you gave DC- besides cereal?
My ped actually said to start with green veggies, then go to orange, then fruits.
His reasoning was that if you start them on something sweeter like orange veges or fruits, they will never like the green stuff!
But I have heard differing opinions on this and in the end, I really don't think it matters.
She was about 5.5 months when we started the green veggies.

My ped said I could start with fruits or veggies first and it didn't matter the color. He just wanted me to try each fruit/veggie three times in a row before switching to something else to make sure DD was not allergic.
I started fruits/veggies at around 5 months.

My ped did not specifiy but i started with green veggies b/c i figured if i started w/ sweet he would never eat the greens! Sure enough as soon as we introduced more food he hates green veggies!

Doesn't matter what you start with. You'll hear a million different theories on what's best. With my first, we started with apples at 6 months. With my second, we started with bananas at 6.5 months. We chose something that was very low on the allergy list.

Re: What was the first food you gave DC- besides cereal?
We were given the green light from our ped to for veggies at 4 months. She said to use the same food for 2-3 days just to test the waters with it. Her first food was greenbeans.

You don't have to start any specific way.
First foods for Logan were banana, avocado and papaya (what was in season at the time).
Haven't started foods with the twins yet.

Re: What was the first food you gave DC- besides cereal?
We started just after 4 months. He was ready (ate the rice cereal so easily, didn't push it out with his tongue at all!)
The veggies and fruits I pureed to start with were:
butternut squash
sweet potato
avocado
bananas
apples
pears
Will move to the green veggies soon, probably green beans. Carrots I will wait on since they are high in nitrates.

Re: What was the first food you gave DC- besides cereal?
I started with sweet potato, then I think acorn squash (the orange colors). After those I did green veggies. Ped suggested I go through the vegetables, especially green, before I moved on to fruits bc they will go for the sweeter things and could refuse veggies after tasting fruits. DS was/is a fantastic eater but def was not much of a fan of peas. We started veggies around 6 months, cereal at 5 mos.

After rice cereal and oatmeal, I moved onto apples, pears and prunes (I forget what order).
ETA - I started at 4 mos and waited 3 days in between each thing to try something new.

Re: What was the first food you gave DC- besides cereal?
Started with banana, then avocado, apples, sweet potato, then cereals. Didn't start till 6 months.
I don't believe in not starting with fruits b/c of the sweetness. DS is EBF and breast milk is very sweet.

our ped didnt really specify. we started with sweet potato and she loved it. then we rotated veggie/fruit/veggie/fruit.
we started cereal at 5m and fruit and veggies at 6m. we did 4 days of each food before trying something new.

Re: What was the first food you gave DC- besides cereal?
I started with banana and then avocado. We made most of DS's food so it was easy to start with food that could just be mashed up with a fork. I didn't follow a specific color and generally looked at the guidelines from wholesomebabyfood.com.
