Tomatoes and red,yellow pepper for my 11 months old..What do you think ?

[Summerfruit]

If yes, should I cook it or shall I give it raw ?

peppers are hard to digest

DS who eats all foods known to man, got very sick after eating cooked red peppers when he was around 8/9 months

raw tomatoes should be ok

Thanks for your answer ! Shall I take off the skin off the tomatoes then ?

i wouldn't but then I am very lazy

Well...I'm lazy too so that's why I'm asking

Summerfruit, my 11 month old dd has been eating peppers and tomatoes raw and cooked since 7 months with no problems. In fact, she eats the same diet as us mainly.

15mth old has gladly eaten cooked or raw peppers and tomatos from about 9mths

I'm so bloody ignorant when it's regarding dd's food...Thanks Showofhands, if I remember right, your little girl was born around the same time as my dd no ?

I tought (and that's just me), that the acidity of the tomatoes was bad for the baby ! Silly me

DS loves raw peppers, has for ages, cut into thin strips.

DD has been having each of these since 6 mo without problems. She's eaten them raw and cooked, but prefers cooked.

I cooked a ratatouile for my 12 month old recently - cut tomatoes and red and yellow peppers and a courgette into cubes n cooked down - he likes it with rice or pasta.

Yes Summerfruit, we both have May babies. I remember you from the May thread (it's still going strong if you want to chat to other Mums with babies of a similar age. We talk lots of rubbish though).

My dd eats anything and everything with the exception of raw chillis. I cook most things from scratch so I know what's in everything and I just dish up a bowl full for her. She can eat an entire red pepper like an apple now she has teeth. In fact, I have to wrestle them from her if I want any for myself.
