For the past couple of days, however, she has finally started to consume some Real Food with gusto:
- porridge
- shredded chicken (no molars yet)
- Cereal with a bit of ETH green pea stew in it for flavour (Thanks, Sandra & Mimi!)
- rice with cheesy sauce on it
- pureed fruit
- scrambled eggs
- cheese
- well-steamed cauliflower florets (mushy)
- graham crackers
Phew! Feels good to see your kid actually enjoy eating, instead of the frustrating dance of offer-spit-mop up. Am hopeful she will continue to welcome new tastes in the days to come.
Glad to see things are going well, at least food-consumption-wise. Probably a sign that she's settling in and feeling more at home.
ReplyDeleteButton's always been a bit of a picky eater - and not a big eater, either. Mustang, on the other hand, ate like a horse from day one and for the full first year or so. Still eats well and heartily, but not quite as much!
Wow! Glad she is developing such an appetite! Zia ate like a horse for the first couple of months. Then she settled in and REALLY got comfortable and now she's a typical picky toddler who won't eat anything but toast and cheese. Go figure. LOL!
ReplyDeleteas you well know, our kids eat us out of house and home. Must remind myself to be thankful for that while we deal with all the other issues!

Yeah food!
ReplyDeleteTry risotto. My kids go nuts for it and have since we discovered they liked it 3 weeks after coming home. We buy the Presidents CHoice brand (no MSG) and they like the butternut squash variety the best.
And you will probably find that she has acquired a taste for spice already- more than we think babies should eat! My kids like bragg spice (like Mrs. Dash) sprinkled on all sorts of things and bore with plain foods like oatmeal if they have it more than one day in a row.
