Another weaning topic....
in Baby
So I am very very very loosly following Gina Ford, well I am following her recipies and her advice on what to give and when ie types of foods.
I give LS (Little Sox) her first bottle and then with her second bottle I give her rice and have done for the last week, yesterday I started her on carrot - she HATED it, I tried again this morning as I thought perhaps it was just a taste that she has to get used to and she catagorically refused to open her mouth after the first spoonful went in and she spat it out again, so I gave her her bottle and left it.
So at lunch time I opened a jar of organix root veg and tried her on that and she must have had 2 spoonfuls after many attempts and spitting most of it out.
So my question would be could she be spitting it out because they are "sharp" flavours and she just needs to get used to them, therefore I should keep trying. Or change the veg all together to something blander like broccoli???
I dont want to keep her on the rice for too long as she will just get used to very bland tastes and I dont want to give her dessert before I give her savory.
HELLLLLLP!!
PS and LS

Has LS actually ingested some carrot? So you know there not allergic? If so i'd try something different and vary it a little always returning to carrot another day?
Sweet potato was a winner in our house, as moonbeam suggests try finding something she does definitely like then add things to that?

It is tricky to start with, I did what nikkiandneil said and mixed the chosen veg with baby rice to dilute the taste.
Good luck with it. Don't stress and try to keep it lighthearted as LO will feel your tension and clam up even more - let us know how you get on!

We used tinned sweetcorn (salt and sugar free) and pureed in a mouli (as it is meant to remove the indigestable bits).
