Want to start veggies
« on: December 02, 2009, 22:37:55 pm »
Hey there ladies,

I have a 5.5 months old lo who is now doing rice cereal and fruits, mainly apples, pears & bananas. I want to start him on veggies, but heard/read that a lo might resist veggies due to the bitter taste.

So, any thoughts abt how to introduce them& what would make an acceptable first veggie?

Cheers,
Adam's Mm

Carrots, sweet potato, squash and parsnip are all quite sweet vegetables

Hi...just wanted to let u know I gave my lo some sweet potato today & he loved it, so thx for that..:)

& I guess as a follow up question, I've heard that los could prey much resist zucchini 'cause it might be bitter, so any thoughts on how to serve it?

Cheers,

We never had a problem with it either but you could mix it into something they already like - I think I did it with potato.

Both of my kids actually preferred veges to fruit when they started! Ds still does!

Great advice to mix the new taste with a taste they already like. Zuccini and pear i seem to remember was a big hit here?
