Hi frens,

I have 6 month old baby. Wanted to get some tips from experienced moms. How should we give fruits & veg, Like each variety a day or one food per week. I am giving baby one food for one week. ( eg. peas for 1 week & banana for 1 week)Am i giving it correctly.Please let me know as soon as possible. mom replied. Priya & Hetal,

Thanks a lot for ur answers..

mom mom replied. hey pria,

Thanks a lot for ur prompt reply..I have couple of ques..Please reply for that too..

1. Do we need to change the diaper in the middle of the night. My baby sleeps for strecth of 10 hrs. If try to change his diaper, he wakes up & it takes more than a hr to go bak to sleep.

2. When do we have to start Gerber stage 2 food?
thanks,
mom. Hetal replied. its great you are going 1 food per week.
now here is what i did for my 11 month dd,nirja,
lineup your offerings of fruits and vegies according to the recipes you want to try. you know what i m trying to say.
like lets say you want to start giving cereal with 2 combinations of vegies, then for that, start with those vegies first. i wanted to make a target for nirja 5 different colours vegies and fruits at the end of one day,,and so i introduced her vegies of different colour,(orange colours first, squash, carrots etc) and likewise fruits so that even if she is on 5 vegies and 5 fruits in a day, she gets all imp nutrients at the end of day..
hope this helps. mom replied. Hi priya,

Thanks for ur reply. I have started all the fruits & veg..Baby doesn't get any rashes. Still do i have to give one veg for one week or carrot,beans,squash,peas for a week..Actually this was my ques.

thanks,
mom. Priya replied. What you are doing is good give the same food for a week and see for rashes discomfort etc. I think better to start with all veg first the fgo to fruit and after all fruits done go to juice. Start with green veg one week then next week yellow veg then green etc. tThis way baby does not eat too much yellow veg and therefore does not start to get yellow skin. Because fruits are sweeter some kids prefer swwet and will not eat veg.
