When to combine tastes?
I asked this in weaning, but no replies.
Hello ladies,
James is just over 6 months old. We waited until 6 months to begin weaning. He's currently on 2 meals a day, we've given 1 for a week, then 2 will be up until Thursday.
We started with some finger foods and purees, now we're more purees than finger foods. Still smooth purees.
Ok, not to the actual question! LOL! When did/will you introduce more than one eg. veg at a meal? Currently James is having one veg, then a pudding. But I'm not sure when to start giving 2 veg mixed, as he obviously hasn't tried everything singuarly yet. It's confusing me because the jars etc have mixed tastes, and if there was a reaction or something, how are you supposed to know what caused it?
Thanks for any help. xx

Obviously with jars/pouches is a little harder to determine what might have caused an allergic reaction, but I suppose you just don't give that jar again! xx

We recently made up sweet potatoes, parsnips and leek, she loves this.
I'd say go for it! Allergies are unlikely if there isn't a history. Maybe if it's a food that is higher risk on the allergy front (eg dairy, wheat, strawberries, peanut butter) try them on their own when you first introduce them.
