That’s a little over the top. How about just feeding carrots 2-3 times a week? She won’t eat the forever. Give her a few weeks and she’ll start eating other foods.

Does it sound reasonable? It makes no sense to me. I mean, I could say get the biggest carrot you can find and then less of it is touching the soil. That might also sound reasonable.

Again I don't think "organic" has anything to do with lead in the soil.



No, I’ll go with the shorter time in the ground, the less absorption of heavy metals. A big sponge absorbs more than a small sponge. Less time in the sun gives you fewer bad Ray’s than longer in the sun.

No clue if it’s applicable to carrots but it does make sense.

Yeah, my pediatrician just said don’t do root vegetables every day. I think you’re way overthinking it. I don’t think organic would have anything to do with it. I think it’s from car emissions and tractors and stuff.

I think you are overthinking it. Buy whichever carrots they sell at the store you frequent the most..

Does this make sense:

- Farm-fresh organic carrots from a farm that has been organic only for over fifty years.
- buying the smallest carrots (in the ground for less time)
- mixing the purée with pineapple or peas (non root vegetables)

My baby is tiny (just under 15 pounds at 8 months) and a somewhat picky eater when it comes to solids but she loves carrots!
