Do you give your 8-9 month old berries and/or citrus?

Many of the fruit combos have berries (blueberry, raspberry, strawberry), and citrus (orange, pineapple). I always thought we were supposed to wait til a year to give those. Has this changed?

Sorry if I seem out of the loop with this stuff...DD#1 is 8, and DD#2 has such feeding issues, I can't go by anything I did with her. I just forget it all now.

If it was in purees I gave it to dd early on

My pediatrician wanted us to introduce everything except for honey by a year. She doesn't get much citrus in general, but she will eat a piece of orange occasionally if her sisters are. Berries she has eaten every day since about 7-8 months.

DD had berries around 9 months. We started with blueberries. She LOVES blueberries. Then we did strawberries at 10 months and mega poops ensued so we slowed down with those. I was actually going to give her a raspberry tonight to try. She's 11 months.

our dr always said the same as what you thought, no berries, melon, pineapple, mangos, kiwi until after 1. I never understood why so many foods have berries, pineapple and mangos in them, it was hard to find an organic fruit that was not a blend. luckily she's 1 now.
