I’ve given my son both peas and carrots now. No reaction so far.. I spaced them out about 3 days apart. First I tried peas and waited, now carrots. I’m not so sure he liked them at first and if you would’ve seen his face you would’ve wondered the same thing lol I’m using stage 1 of Beechnut right now and I honestly think the convenience of buying the jar foods is worth it. They are only about 45 cents and possibly cheaper at other places and during sales.

I’m choosing to give him vegetables before fruits so that he doesn’t get used to the sweetness of fruits and then does not want the vegetables. Well after a week of introducing him to these flavors he has begun to enjoy them more, or so it seems. He only eats about a half of a jar at a time or 1/3 of one and they are pretty tiny. I’m going to introduce him to a few more veggies like sweet potatoes and maybe green beans then move on to some fruits. He also still eats some baby cereal in the morning. He’s become such an expert at eating from a spoon now.
