my 6month old daughter has just recently started eating rice cereal and i'm wanting to give her some fruits or vege's next week....what did you give to your baby as their first fruit/vege...any homemade recipes out there?

Emersyn had pear for her first fruit & she wasn't too fond - i think because it was so [naturally] sweet, and it was a bit of a shock to the system

First vege combo she had was pumpkin & sweetcorn & she loved it!

As for home made, I just boil or steam the fruit/vege & then mix the veges with a small amount of fruit puree, just to sweeten them up a tiny bit... That's the only extent I've gone to so far!!!!

All I did when I made it, was cook it via steaming them mash it up with a fork. I would sometimes add water or formula to it as well.

thanks ladies....I don't know why I'm getting so confused with this solid stuff...I just can't seem to find the answers I'm looking for online....

how often did you feed your babies in the beginning? (DD's been on rice cereal for a week and a half now)

When I remembered. Seriously. Lucy got solids every few days for a little while, and then everyday at Lunch. After a few weeks we added dinner, then breakfast.
