Hellobee Boards

Once LO had foods that she had tried and was okay with, I would introduce one new food mixed with a safe food--so LO tried spinach the first time mixed with sweet potato, etc.

We were really lax about introducing one food at a time, and so far so good. We don't have any allergies in either of our families, which is one of the reasons that we weren't too worried.

We introduced foods this way, she had already had applesauce so we added the broccoli in, she likes all vegetables as long as they have a little pear, apple or banana in them.

We've been super lax with solids, mainly because Australia's guidelines don't promote the one food for three days rule like the US. DD's second meal of solids was a broccoli, peas, and pears combo - she loved it! If you already know peas and pears are ok for your LO, I see no reason not to add broccoli in as well.

Our ped told us it fine to combine new foods with old foods that we had already tried.

I was pretty diligent about the three-day rule in the beginning, but started to become more lax around 8 months or so. Now LO tries almost everything (except nuts and honey).
