First time giving baby food POLL: Fruits or Veggies 1st and 2 questions

I went to dd 4 month appt. and was told we can start cereal and fruits. I have 2 questions:
1. My friend is dr (she is a resident) too and she said she thought I should start with veggies first. I asked dd ped. and he said he starts with fruits first since she may get constipated from the cereal. My friend says veggies make you go to the bathroom too, and she believes introducing the fruits first deters babies from the veggies b/c of the sweet taste.
what do you think....should I just stick to what my dr said or call him and suggest what my friend said?

Also
2. My dd ped said to start off with 10 tsp of cereal and mix with bm or formula. Isn't that too much? The box only says to use 1 tsp.

Thanks Ladies...I'm confused please help me out

Every doctor is different. Mine said to start with orange veggies and go through the other veggies before introducing fruits. She said it was because fruits were so sweet and he may not want veggies after starting with fruits.

She also said to start with 2 tablespoons of cereal, in 2 meals. Each time mixed with 1 oz of breastmilk of formula.

But I have heard other girls that were told to start with green veggies, others to start with fruits.

We were told veggies first b/c of the sweet thing. 10tsp is too much IMO, we started with 1 and then moved up as DS got the hang of it.
