I know it's irrelevant to everyone else out there, but my baby boy is 6-months-old today! A big half year! :) I'm gonna start weaning him now!
All hes ever had is milk and baby rice, so today I'm gonna offer him pureed apple? Is that good? Or should I start on veg? I have pureed sweetcorn and carrot? Would that be better? ↓

Apples didn't work out well with Mia. It took me ages to get her to take them and all kinds of ways of making them.
I'd advise to start on banana.
That's just my preference.
And for so reason, carrot never really purée's 100% for me and made her gag. Sweetcorn I haven't tried.
If you want to start on a veg', Mia loved Sweet Potato. But I'm just going on what we've done.
Apple would be the best out of what you've mentioned though ↑ |

| Well I gave him apple and he hated it. Joey doesn't open his mouth when the spoon is coming towards it either! Is that something to be worried about? I have to force it into his mouth, and then he spits it out. ↑ |

| It's best to start them on veggies first because once they have the sweetness of fruits, they don't always want veggies. Don't give him corn yet, babies can't digest it. Keep trying the apples since you already gave them to him and wait for 3-4 days before trying something different, hopefully he'll end up liking it, it's just all new to him. Good luck and have your camera ready because they can make some of the silliest faces when they try new foods. :-) ↑ |

04nidak Thats a pile of bollocks about the whole put them on Veges 1st.. Because for a start,... they have ALREADY got that sweet taste because breastmilk is VERY sweet...
they will either like veges or they wont.. it doesnt matter what you start them on 1st. ↑ |

| well it's not entirely inaccurate, some babies do develop a taste for only the sweet foods and don't like veggies. The trick is not feed them just fruits for too, long as soon as you know they have no food allergies to the first introduced fruits then you need to start introducing veggies right away. ↑ |

| Thanks ladies. Well I've already given him apple now, so gonna wait the 4 days and then offer him some veg, see what he thinks. And yeah he really does pull some funny faces! ↑ |

Nah Mia was the same with foods she didn't really like.
Her gums would be clamped together and you'd literally need a pliers to get the apart! LOL
She still does it now if it's a food she doesn't particuarly like.
I just keep giving it. ↑ |
