Is your LO enjoying solid food so far?

Question

We've tried avocado, green beans, red lentils, zucchini, and squash. She hates them all...so much so that she starts gagging, spitting, and almost cries. 😭 Curious if this is normal for the beginning. Does anyone have any tips to make it go smoother for us?

Answer

Mine hates purées, so I’m gave up for a little bit. He gags and starts to choke.

Answer

We're on day 10 of BLW and she is actually eating a couple of bites without gagging sometimes. Tonight she wasn't interested in food but 2 days ago she ate 3/4 of an orange, so it just depends on the day.

Answer

My grand parents used to say that if we can eat it then the kids can eat it (in terms of taste). If you find the food tasty, like adding a dash of salt or sugar to relevant foods can make a difference. I add some salt to the pureed rice, some sugar to finger millet pudding

Answer

Are you doing BLW or purees? Home made or store bought? My daughter hates most of what we have tried so far. She likes butternut squash, green beans and peas. She kinda likes carrots, but not the home made one's. She hates oatmeal, applesauce and bananas. We try room temp, cold and warm. She's not ok with real food yet. She wants to eat it but then gets confused when it's in her mouth.  I've heard it can take about 10x of trying a food before they decide if they like it or not. We just keep trying and try to stay calm. It's pretty frustrating for us tbh

Answer

Mine loves veggies....hates fruits.

Answer

Mine only will eat homemade sweet potato and peas, he did like Beech-Nut prunes that I got for constipation

Answer

We have tried sweet potato, blueberries, and apples. All homemade purees. She hated all three of those. Wouldn’t even open her mouth after the first bite, and was so unimpressed that she refused to drink her milk afterwards too. I’m going to try again in a week or so. 😬

Answer

Making our own purée and thinning it out with breast milk (so there’s some familiar taste- and the nutrients of course :))

Answer

Mine loves food now I would say. I just tried to eat an apple and she cried till I picked her up and let her chew on a baby biscuit

Answer

Mix fruits and veggie purees together if she is rejecting the veggies. Try puréed pear and green beans. My little guy loves it! Also it could be texture so be sure the food is puréed smooth. It may just take a few more tries before she takes to them.
