I just grabbed some at the store this weekend, so we'll try some this week. </p> <p>I did read that the human taste buds are programmed to like sweet fruits more than veggies, so it's probably a lost cause. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hold-off-feeding-your-lo-fruits#post-574021 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 23:29:38 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 574021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did start with carrots first, but followed with bananas a few days later. As long as you give both, it really shouldn't have any long-term effects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hold-off-feeding-your-lo-fruits#post-574019 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 23:28:29 +0000 sarac 574019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breastmilk is sweeter than any fruit, so if your baby gets that, you're already sunk. I don't buy it, personally. I started with fruits, and my daughter loves all fruits and vegetables. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hold-off-feeding-your-lo-fruits#post-574013 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 23:26:10 +0000 lovehoneybee 574013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far we've done green beans, then asparagus, then sweet potato. Of the three he's liked the asparagus the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hold-off-feeding-your-lo-fruits#post-573985 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 23:17:54 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 573985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: good point</p> <p>We plan on doing veggies for the whole month before fruit. I think like your DH thinks. I don't know if it'll make any difference at all but at least it'll make me feel better. We're doing veggies, fruits then eventually meats...skipping cereals and any grains all together for that 1st year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hold-off-feeding-your-lo-fruits#post-573781 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 22:05:49 +0000 owlmom 573781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We introduced them around the same time. I don't think it makes a difference. LO is 16 months, and she goes through phases of what she prefers - some days she devours broccoli and could care less about strawberries, and the next day she wants blueberries and turns her nose up at peas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hold-off-feeding-your-lo-fruits#post-573742 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:57:16 +0000 mrsjazz 573742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We introduced them together. I figured breast milk is so sweet so it didn't matter if she had sweet stuff first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hold-off-feeding-your-lo-fruits#post-573725 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:54:01 +0000 Mrs. Bee 573725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha i voted marshmallows but we did give charlie veggies first. :)</p> <p>it honestly doesn't matter though what you start with. they're not going to love veggies more than fruit because you started with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hold-off-feeding-your-lo-fruits#post-573711 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:51:52 +0000 Mrs. Pen 573711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bananas, pears, avocados, carrots and squash were his favorite food. He eats his veggies really well- but he does have a preference for sweet things like his mama ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hold-off-feeding-your-lo-fruits#post-573703 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:50:05 +0000 matador84 573703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did apples then squash then pears. He had explosive blowouts!!! Ahhh...so we're holding off a little longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hold-off-feeding-your-lo-fruits#post-573693 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:48:23 +0000 prettylizy 573693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her first explorations with food were bananas, avocado and peaches. She had all three on her tray and played with them all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hold-off-feeding-your-lo-fruits#post-573692 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:48:19 +0000 Sammyfab 573692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with a very mildly sweet fruit (avocado) and then vegetables (sweet potato and squash). I'm sure my LO would love marshmallows though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hold-off-feeding-your-lo-fruits#post-573683 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:46:12 +0000 googly-eyes 573683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom said to do this but we haven't started solids yet...so..marshmallows!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hold-off-feeding-your-lo-fruits#post-573669 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:43:12 +0000 Weagle 573669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We introduced them together, but she prefers veggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hold-off-feeding-your-lo-fruits#post-573616 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:31:51 +0000 stargal 573616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope but he likes veggies more then fruits. He makes. Face when eating sweet stuff lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hold-off-feeding-your-lo-fruits#post-573608 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:30:49 +0000 mediagirl 573608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fruits were easy and some of her first foods. She seems to like green veggies a lot even still! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hold-off-feeding-your-lo-fruits#post-573594 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:29:20 +0000 Bao 573594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this same intention, but I ended trying fruits anyway...she actually prefers the veggies! I don't think it makes a difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hold-off-feeding-your-lo-fruits#post-573517 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:08:47 +0000 chopsuey 573517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I Started off with the sweet stuff! (sweet potatoes and bananas)I don't think it made a difference in the long run. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-hold-off-feeding-your-lo-fruits#post-573511 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:07:32 +0000 lovehoneybee 573511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until after you'd given vegetables for a while? DH wants to do this in the hope that he'll develop a taste for veggies before we introduce the sweeter stuff. </p> <p>If you did, how long did you wait before introducing fruits? If you didn't, have you noticed a preference for the sweeter stuff? </p>
