Try peas, or green beans. Over time, increase the amount you are feeding Baby to 2 teaspoons. After Baby has tried 3 or 4 vegetables, try some fruit.
Some babies love fruit.

Again, start with a half teaspoon of the fruit and work up to 2 teaspoons, serving it 1 to 2 times a day. Once in a while, a new food causes vomiting, diarrhea, or a skin rash. By starting only one new food and by using a simple food, you will know what food is to blame if there is a problem.
