Chubbs has been on brown rice cereal for two weeks now. He started out with a very thin gruel and I've been thickening it bit by bit. Now that he has learnt to swallow his food well, I can introduce other flavours and textures to him. I'm feeding him avocado because it is high in good fats, iron and Vitamin E, is not strong tasting, and has a smooth, creamy texture when mashed. It's the ultimate superfood for babies.
Unfortunately, Chubbs does not quite share my enthusiasm (just like his daddy). Here is a count by count report.
The first bite.He contemplated the new taste.
He spat it out.So I thought I'd be clever and trick him into eating it. I ate most of the avocado in his bowl, then I mixed his regular brown rice cereal into the remaning bits. He saw this and was very happy, thinking that he got his good ol' rice cereal back.
Then he tasted it properly.
He spat it out.Can't fool this one. Looks like I'll be having avocado rest of the week :/
