Tara, Produce is easier to digest than meats. That’s the reason I placed meat last. I can understand why your pediatrician wants to introduce fruit last. We have a natural disposition to sweet tasting foods and fruit is the sweetest. I would think oatmeal and brown rice should be introduced before veggies, then sweet potatoes and carrots. Green veggies, like green beans, and then meat. Perhaps, you might want to introduce pumpkin as the first fruit as not as sweet as bananas and it’s a super food. You might want to alternate the introduction of meat with fruit. First, chicken, then applesauce, then beef, then peaches, etc. For sure you have options as to the order new foods are introduced. Be sure to wait about a week to make sure your baby doesn’t have a reaction to any new food.
