When starting solids, should I offer vegetables one by one or as a mixed puree?

When starting solids, offering vegetables separately is recommended. Two important reasons: first, baby gets to taste each one alone; second, if an allergy or sensitivity shows up, you know exactly which food caused it. General pediatric advice is to start one at a time, adding a new vegetable every 3-4 days. For example: carrot first, then 3-4 days later butternut squash, then potato. Once baby's tried each vegetable alone with no problems for 2-3 days, you can move to mixed purees in later weeks. Around the 6-month mark, offering each vegetable solo for at least 2-3 days is a good start.
