utchick-
I guess maybe i came off sounding mean, but i truly didn't mean it that way.  I guess i should have worded it differently, but i did hear that the age they are at right now is the best time to introduce all different kinds of flavors to them.  Also i was told the same thing that claire was that they have to have them many time before the develope a taste for them.  Just keep it up and as long as he is getting veggies of some sort i think it is fine!

if he eats some veg then just stivk tothose, he might chane as he gets older and taste buds change! i wouldnt forch him, but my health visiter said a baby has to try the same food at least 15 times before they can be sure they defiantly dont like it!

i by it in the jars and he'll eat some veggies but not all he'll eat like carrots and mixed veggies but he wont do sweet potato or peas and i dont wanna force him to eat hes veggies thats not in me to do that. his dr didnt give me any say on what to start out on so i feel as if i did him wrong now for starting out with fruit. Do i need to try to force him to eat his veggies? or should i play nice mommie

ive started weaning Alister in the last week and ive also been told to just go through all the veg before touching the fuits yet!
do you puree your own food or do you buy jars?
if you puree you can try sweet potatoe still nice and sweet buta veg! or just keep mixing purees together, he might just give in after awhile hopefully!

I just started feeding Kyra baby food a couple weeks ago and i know that before we started her Dr. said not to give her anything sweet until she got good at eating her veggies.  Have you tried to not give her fruit and just make her eat veggies?  I know it may sound mean, but i am having to force Kyra to eat some veggies b/c she doesn't care them.  Other than that i don't really have any advise..Sorry!!
