Funny story about early solids...

sdkrlm · April 2010

The Aidan hates peas post reminded me of this story.

We started Avery on solids at 6 months - she had butternut squash as her first food.

I was going to do all the veggies before I introduced any fruits because I had read some babies won't do veggies after they taste fruits.

So MIL and I were at Jason's deli - and I sit down to eat and Avery is in the highchair just hanging out and she saw me eating and started just FREAKING out.

I of course didn't have any foods with me, I tried to nurse her. NO! Homegirl wanted FOOD. So I went to see if they had a banana I could buy and mush up and apparently they were out of fresh bananas. My ONLY option was to take the bananas out of the fruit salad mixture (strawberries, yogurt, melon - three "allergen" foods)... I carefully scraped as much non-banana off of the banana - and fed avery with a plastic spoon.

While I was doing this - I kept telling her - "Girl, You are getting PEAS next for making mama break these rules"

So we tried peas next and you know what???? she LOVED them. Couldn't get enough...

Oye....
