We have had three "real" meals of peas!!! I end up scooping up about 50% of what I try to put into Joshua's mouth from his bib... but he swallowing the rest! We found two points with him that have helped.
1. Joshua loves texture. If it is pureed to the point of goo he won't open up. If it is paste or thicker, he is happy to try it.
2. Joshua loves to be in control. I hold the end of the spoon to help guide the contents to his mouth. He holds the part of the handle closest to his mouth & looks very proud of himself after each bite.
We are still learning.... but I am happy with our progress.
Next venture: pears!

We add cereal to EVERYTHING to give it that texture. It also makes it so much easier to get it in the mouth because its not drooping off the spoon. We add 1 - 2 tablespoons of cereal per jar at least.
ReplyDeleteCereal is our go-to as well.
