Answer
Hi there..

yes she will be ok.. if she was going to have a problem with them you would have known within a day or two.  The biggest problem with giving them veggies to young is it can upset their tummies and give them diarrhea.  Diarrhea is always serious.  When you do start giving her veggies you should try to give her to them a little at a time to see if she can handle them.  If she gets any loose stools then those veggies just aren't right for her.  Also you want to make sure you give her more than carrots.  I am sure you have done research but I am attaching a few web-sites with "approved" foods.  Half of them I don't even know what they are but its nice to know anyway.
