Bananas are great. I started with that then on to carrots and sweet potatoes. I think it doesn't really matter if you start with fruit or veggies because the baby food form of it all is sweet tasting

i started my daughter on sweet potatoes. she LOVED them! followed by carrots, pears & apples. those are pretty easy first foods! enjoy the colorful poops! lol ;)

They say veggies first then fruits cause babies will get the sweet tooth if you do the reverse. my little ones loves yams. my mom just cooked some up and purred it and she just ate it up like it was her last meal. Cranberries are good too.

I gave my son a bit of apple puree or sweet potatoe. he used to get backed up aswell and so i put alittle bit of pear puree in with it, it helped so much.

SWEET POTATOES and really any vegetables are good to start out with-- if he does get a little backed up you can give him some prunes If he can handle baby cereal he is on a good start. My son who 6months old could not handle the cereal it backed him up big time ER and everything but as far as food has gone- No problems. have fun!!
