Introducing vegetables question

Jeremy has successfully had rice, oatmeal and barley (over the past 3 weeks). He has been having oatmeal in the morning and rice or barley in the evenings.
I want to introduce veggies now. I want to do Sweet Potatoes tonight. Do I give it to him with cereal or instead?
Thanks!

Re: Introducing vegetables question

I would give it to him instead 1st just to get him use to it. It may be too much food for him. That is how I did it w/ DD when I 1st started her on veggies.

Re: Introducing vegetables question

I mix Molly's veggies and fruits with her cereal.

argh, 2 different answers!

Re: Introducing vegetables question

I mix fruit with cereal...I have never mixed veggies with it though. If you want to just introduce him to the tase you can do it like that.

Re: Introducing vegetables question

At first, I introduced veggies with less cereal than she would eat without them in it. I did the same with fruit in the beginning. I don't do it anymore, she only gets cereal once a day.

It really doesn't matter, sometimes they won't take the veggies alone since it's a new taste, some babies, like mine eat anything i give her, it doesn't matter

I say try it both ways and see what DC prefers :)

Re: Introducing vegetables question

thanks anyway...
I gave him just the sweet potatoes and he ate the whole container. he made a funny face a few times but overall did great
