He had avocado, banana, and applesauce. His favorite purée combo at that age was sweet potato/avocado/pear. </p> <p>We quickly moved on to giving him tastes of whatever was on our plate at about 8 months. He stopped liking purées at about that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/purees-1#post-1714200 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 15:49:32 +0000 sweet_p 1714200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with oatmeal + breast milk at 6 months and then moved onto sweet potatoes, carrots and butternut squash. Our pediatrician recommended starting with orange/yellow vegetables first and then move onto green ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/purees-1#post-1714193 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 15:40:15 +0000 lawbee11 1714193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months.

We'll be starting purées soon too. My friend said it's really easy to make your own, especially the beginning ones. I have a mini food processor that I think I'll use and just freeze it in ice cube trays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/purees-1#post-1714167 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 15:10:25 +0000 lamariniere 1714167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS around 5 months with carrots, but started rice cereal around 4.5 months.<br /> With DD closer to 6 months with carrots. No real why, it was just the first thing I decided on. The next few were sweet potatoes, avocado (mashed) and peaches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/purees-1#post-1714164 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 15:08:38 +0000 swedishfish 1714164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: we started with rice cereal and oatmeal cereal but the first purée we gave R was sweet potato. She loved it. She had sweet potato for the first time on Thanksgiving so she was closer to 5 months when we moved to vegetables and fruits. I figured sweet potato was a sure bet because of its sweetness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/purees-1#post-1714161 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 15:06:58 +0000 MrsH 1714161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: I edited.
