Adventures in Baby Food

So...I made a TON of baby foods. I was so excited. We have so many options. I can't wait...oh...wait...my baby hates baby food.

wait...no...she hates solids...

wait...no...she hates food that I try to feed her that doesn't come from my dish...and she's not easy to trick.

We started with rice cereal, to a mediocre review. Oatmeal met with rave reviews from the consumer and was greatly enjoyed and even asked for.

Then we tried squash. It was okay. And then sweet potatoes. That was a no-go. So was banana. And apple. And squash. And oatmeal. Yup...we've regressed. SOOOO...cue music. We're going to try sticks. I'll cook some root veggies and cut them into sticks.

Sweet potato FTW!

Or not...what?

Carrot fail...once....twice...maybe not?

Banana fail...again and again.

Rice cereal fail...unless you count the fact that it makes a FANTASTIC finger paint.

However...white turkey chili was met with massive approval. Ham and bean soup was not as impressive. Ciabatta bread was fantastic. Oh...and carrots were eaten while I was eating stir fry that had similar-looking pepper strips.

So...not sure where this leaves us. I want to just give her table foods. Papa D wants to try the fruit and veggie route. He is sleeping while we're "eating" so he has no clue how frustrating it is to watch your food go to waste. I guess he also won't know when I just go ahead and feed her table food, will he?

  1. Tell me what's wrong with table food? If it's good enough for the nursing mama, it's good enough for the girly, who's not eating enough of it to get all the nutrient from it that she needs - she gets that from you. Papa D needs to relax.
