He's 17 months. He only has one molar so I think it would be hard for him to get down. He does love raw tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers from our salads though! And green olives. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-your-lo-to-salad#post-1937040 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 22:45:08 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1937040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 10 months. She goes through phases of hating it &amp; loving it. It's not a staple in her diet lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-your-lo-to-salad#post-1937017 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 21:52:34 +0000 yoursilverlining 1937017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: my LO loves salad too! She started testing it out and eating it around a year or so, and at 2.5 eats salad several times a week at lunch at school and dinner at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-your-lo-to-salad#post-1937005 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 21:29:30 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1937005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>16 months. I was eating some and he kept wanting some. He's strange bc he really likes salad and raw veggies too! But he won't eat pizza and mac n cheese. It's all very odd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-your-lo-to-salad#post-1936974 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 20:47:30 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1936974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: yes! But honestly my 3 year old still doesn't eat much compared to other veggies. I think he gets tired of chewing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-your-lo-to-salad#post-1936972 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 20:41:39 +0000 Mae 1936972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha i gave my 5.5 mo a piece of lettuce to see what she'd do with it. she licked it and spit it out :) she has no teeth so i didn't really think she'd eat it! I think once she has the ability to actually chew some stuff rather than just gum it i'll try again </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-your-lo-to-salad#post-1936968 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 20:38:37 +0000 Tanjowen 1936968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Babies are such good plate thieves!</p> <p>@catomd00: Yeah, I just realized I should have framed the question as when they were able to actually eat leafy greens. I need more sleep :P</p> <p>@Baby Boy Mom: @T.H.O.U.: So more like 2-3ish years old. It guess it makes sense after they get their molars that they can do more grinding and tearing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-your-lo-to-salad#post-1936963 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 20:31:52 +0000 yellowbird 1936963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is weird because she's always been a fan of salads. She's been able to eat leafy greens as long as they're cut small since around 19 months. She loves salad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-your-lo-to-salad#post-1936956 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 20:25:38 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1936956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Raw leafy greens were hard. Now at age three she will eat a few bites with dressing and can actually chew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-your-lo-to-salad#post-1936951 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 20:21:21 +0000 catomd00 1936951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 8 month old has had spinach that's baked in quiche but never "raw" leafy greens. She has no teeth though yet so might be a little tough for her to gum. I don't think there's any reason not to try it but probably easier in other forms if you're concerned about them ingesting it for the nutritional value. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-your-lo-to-salad#post-1936940 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 20:10:53 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1936940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much as soon as we started solids. But they got things like cucumber and tomato. At 20 months the little one still can't really handle leafy greens. I think that was after age two, maybe 2.5 for my eldest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-your-lo-to-salad#post-1936919 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 19:51:55 +0000 blackbird 1936919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty early on. Only because she reached over and took some off my plate and kept eating it....definirely by a year :) she's lost interest in it since then (except for the dressing, that it) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-your-lo-to-salad#post-1936915 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 19:49:13 +0000 Tanjowen 1936915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious when you started giving your LO salad, or at least pieces of lettuce/spinach? I haven't tried it yet at 10 months and the thought came up while preparing dinner. </p>
