Larsen needed several weeks to get used to eating baby food, but after a couple months she got to where she was eating 4-5 jars/pouches a day. But a few weeks ago, she lost interest and refused. Now giving her baby food is slow and not very easy. At first I thought she was disappointed that I had run out of the gourmet flavors (used coupons to buy the expensive blends). So I went and bought her favorites (without coupons). That helped a little, but it was still a chore to get her to open her mouth for the first few bites. So I started giving her FOOD! Most days she feeds herself really well and some days she isn't interested. I am giving her a combination of baby food and chunks of food. She has eaten: cheerios, watermelon, bananas, pear, blueberries, rice, avocado, one pretzel and a couple goldfish. Yes, not too proud of giving her those last two on the list. But with a big brother eating in front of her, it is so hard to not let her have one too!
Eating bananas one afternoon...
Having her first avocado this morning...she LOVED it!
