It doesn’t really matter if you start weaning your baby with fruit or vegetables to be honest. Your baby can digest them both just as easily. Some experts would argue you should start with vegetables and avoid the sweeter fruits in order to prevent your baby developing a sweet tooth and encourage a preference for savoury food. On the other hand the experts would argue that fruits should be used first as they mimic the sweetness of breastmilk and therefore would be a natural and more comfortable progression for your weaning baby.

My personal view is that is doesn’t matter whether your feed your baby fruit or vegetables first. As long as they experience a large range of tastes, textures and colours throughout their weaning stage you can be sure they are getting all the nutrition they need.
