when to stard raw veggies

[Nee]

My LO is 15 months,  I was wondering when is a good time to start raw veggies.  Do you have to wait until they get all there molars?

I didn't wait for neither of my boys to get their molars before doing raw veggies.  I just cut them very small or I used a cheese grater which worked very well for my boys.

I have heard of other methods that say just give them a big piece and they will not take on more than they can handle.  I never tried this since boys seem to think it is fun to stuff as much as possible in.  I had a friend who did this as soon as the first teeth started to come in as teething toys/food.  I was to scared to try that.

Maybe someone has some experience with other ways

we started at about 14 months with DD. She loves raw veggies even now. We never really waited for her teeth since she didn't get them till late.

As long as they're small and your there it'll be fine

DS wasn't too keen on raw veggies until he had his first set of 4 molars.  He will eat baby carrots cut lengthwise into skinny quarters, skinny slices of green or red pepper and the odd time will eat a slice of cucumber or tomato.  Still bigger on cooked veggies, though.  Oh, and he loves lettuce if it is in a goopy dressing like caesar or greek.
