We had M's 6 month wellness visit to the pediatrician yesterday. Since we last took her to the doctor at 4 months, expert recommendations on how and when to feed your baby changed. Now, parents are encouraged to feed their babies whatever is for dinner--no slowly introducing foods as we had been--just let her have what's on the table.
So, last night we had Mexican, and gave M refried beans and avocado. The beans were well-received, but the avocado made her dry-heave.
Today, I went to Whole Foods and bought Puffs, a baby food that looks like cereal but is made from fruits and veggies, and instantly melts in your mouth so there is no need to chew. M likes the sweet potato Puffs, the only kind we have tried so far. That is positive, and we are hoping that this change to more flavorful, diversified foods also changes her appetite for solids.
