Weird question. How do you know if your LO just does NOT like a food. DS has been on solids for about 2 months. He has tried bananas, sweet potatoes, squash, green beans and carrots. I pureed pears over the weekend and EVERY time I try feeding him the pears, he chokes. Which is strange because he has NEVER done that before and the pears are super pureed, it isnt even as thick as his sweet potatoes. Could he be choking on them just because he really HATES pears, or would it be something else?
Also, he used to eat almost 2 ounces of food at a time, he was probably going through a growth spurt, but now it is a challenge to get him to even eat 5 bites. Why would that be?
Any help would be fantastic, I am at a loss. Thanks-
Re: How do you know?
he's not choking unless he can't breath - he's probably just gaging on the taste or texture.
try cheerios. maybe the purees are too thin as pp said.
have you read on baby led weaning?
some kids hate purees
Could just be a weird texture that he doesnt know how to handle.
Dd hates bananas. She will eat one or two bites and not open her mouth again.
DD gags when she doesn't like something. Right now.. peas. Pears seems like something all babies would like, but Im sure not all do.
I would just wait a couple months and try them again.

My pedi said that it could take up to 15 separate offerings of a food before DD would be accepting of it. I would just keep offering. I also think pears are gritty, and your LO may be gagging because of the texture.
