First vegetable

We're going to start vegetables with the boys this weekend. Right now they eat rice cereal 2-3 times a day.

What vegetable did you start with and did you mix it with the cereal or first see if they would eat it by itself?

We did sweet potatoes first and mixed it with cereal. We have been doing solids for about 1 1/2 months and each feeding we mix cereal with the veg/fruit

so far we did in this order:
sw pot
squash
pears
apples
peas
peaches
carrots

 

We started w/applesauce for 3 days, by itself - then switched to sweet potato by itself. Never mixed w/cereal until later....

 

we started with the yellow/orange veggies first....I think squash
then moved on to green and did fruit last.

 

I did sweet potato, butternut squash, applesauce, bannanas, peas, carrots, green beans and avocado. I mixed cereal with their fruits and their green beans. So far they've liked everything - except Sean doesn't like sweet potatoes or avocado.

 

We have done Sweet Potatoe, Green Beans, Applesauce and now pears. I think that the sw pot. are the only ones that I have mixed with oatmeal - an that is because they really didn't like them.

I give them the veggie/fruit first and then oatmeal.
