14/365

A little while ago you began to show great interest in our food. You then started to take our food from our plates and stuff it into your mouth, and so we decided it might be time to start you on solids. Unsurprisingly, you LOVE food. We decided to skip the mush and purée stage with you and have moved straight to giving you foods in their original form and allowing you to feed yourself rather than being spoonfed. We also avoid giving you any kind of processed food. Yesterday, though, I bought my first jar of baby food. Granted, it was organic Bircher muesli using only fruit and oats, but it was very puréed and not exactly what you're used to. I mostly did it out of curiosity.

You hated it. I've never seen you react to food like that. I think it was possibly too sweet for you - you screwed up your face, again and again, and bashed your arm up and down on your high chair in disgust. You went back for more, about five times, but eventually just refused to consider eating it.

Point taken.
