Solids

I waited until about 6 months to start, and then you were also able to sit on your own. I thought you'd love it since you're always reaching for our food, but you hate them so far!

• First we tried pureed peas. You loved the spoon, but hated the food. You still tongue thrust to try to push it out. Eventually, you even made yourself throw up as I tried to feed you.
• Next, you tried frozen grapes in the mesh feeder. It took a minute for you to get it, and then you liked them, so we've done them a few times.
• Your next food in the mesh feeder was frozen strawberries. You loved them and sucked it forever!
• We tried peas a few more times and you weren't a fan. So the next puree was carrots. You didn't seem to like those either. If I coated the spoon, you'd take it and suck it and eat some, and didn't hate it, but didn't want spoonfuls either. So you only ate a little of that over a few days.
• Dad tried to give you mashed sweet potatoes, and you spit them all out.
• Today, I tried to give you a piece of banana and you wouldn't take it, but then I put a chunk in the mesh feeder and you loved it! I'm thinking we'll take a little break from trying (and wasting) purees, and just stick with the mesh feeder a bit longer.
