When To Introduce Baby To New Foods

We always recommend to thoroughly cook raw veggies to ensure no foreign bacteria will find it's way into your baby's tummy. Fresh fruits should be delayed as long as possible. We recommend babies be at least 12 months for most fresh fruits. Below you'll find a list of foods and a recommended age of introduction. If there is a family history of allergies to a particular food, it should be avoided until after 12 months.Asparagus - 7 months Avocados - 7 months Bananas - 7 months Bean Pods (snap, green, yellow or waxed) - 7 months Beets, cooked - 9 months Beets, raw - 10 months Blueberries - 10 months Broccoli -  8 months Brussel Sprouts, cooked - 9 months Cabbage -  18 months Cantaloupe - 8 months Carrots, cooked - 7 months Cauliflower, cooked - 9 months Celery, cooked - 7 months Cherry, raw & finely sliced - 9 months Collard Greens, cooked - 9 months Corn - 18 months Cucumbers, raw - 18 months Eggplant, cooked - 9 months Grapes, finely sliced - 9 months Honeydew Melon - 8 months Kiwi - 8 months Lettuce - 10 months Mangoes - 7 months Mushrooms - 9 months Mustard Green - 9 months Nectarines - 7 months Okra, cooked - 9 months Onions, cooked - 9 months Orange - 12 months Papaya - 7 months Parsley, cooked - 8 months Peaches - 7 months Pears - 7 months Peas - 7 months Peppers - 10 months Pineapples - 9 months Plums - 8 months Prunes - 8 months Potato - 7 months Pumpkin - 7 months Rhubarb, cooked thoroughly - 9 months Rutabaga, cooked - 9 months Squash, cooked - 7 months Sweet Potato, cooked - 6 months Tomato, raw - 12 months Turnips, cooked - 9 months Watermelon - 8 months Yams, cooked - 6 months Sorrel - 9 months Spinach, cooked - 9 months Strawberries - 12 months Swiss Chard - 9 months
