Hi everybody! I have two questions that I would love help with!
1) When steaming/boiling fruits and veggies, do I have to peel, cut and try and de-seed (if necessary) prior to cooking, or do I do it after they have cooked?
2) My second question is that I've read different schools of thought on the order of intoduction of different foods. I've read all cereals, then all veggies, and lastly fruits. And I've also read a cereal, a veggie, a fruit and then repeat...
What is the most common, possibly effective way to go about it. I've heard (and not sure if it's a wives tale) that if you give fruit before veggies, then the child may then not take to any veggies because they aren't sweet like the fruits.
Help please! I'm excited to start this, but want to wait until I have a few opinions first!!
Thanks so much!
