First Feedings
Ok, so DS had an appointment yesterday with the pediatrician. He is now four months. When I got home I realized I had forgot to ask about cereal and called to speak to the doctor. She said, no cereal yet and to start with 3 teaspoons of veggies and to progress over the week. Then try a new veggie every week, then fruit, and then cereal. I was fine with this, but everyone around me is  about this. Anyone else been told to do this?

Re: First Feedings
Never heard of starting veggies first..usually it's cereal first b/c it's less hard on their stomachs. I'd ask what the thought process is.. maybe he's got a good reason..I'd be interested to know actually.

She said they like veggies the least, so to get that out of the way. The fruits and cereal they don't usually have a problem with.

Re: First Feedings
I started both my sons with about a tsp of rice, 1tsp of fruit and almost an oz of formula. Never had any problems with fruit or veggies.

Re: First Feedings
i started with avacodo first - no one says you have to start with cereal first
if your baby is gassy i would start with non-green vegatables first -
there is thought about not introducing sweet food first is better for the pallet and obesity - try to prevent craving too many sweets
