After four days of avocado with no allergic reaction, it's time to introduce Chubbs to a new flavour. For breakfast this morning, I opened a jar of organic butternut squash that his doting Grandaunty Jan carried back from Vancouver. It smelled so sweet and fragrant, I wanted the whole jar to myself! Besides being yummy, butternut squash is an excellent source of Vitamin A/ beta-carotene, which has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties (supports healthy lung development in newborns).
Chubbs was intrigued by the bright orange colour, and was keen to get his chompers around the spoon. One taste and he was hooked! No frowning, no spitting out, no ear-pulling (he does this whenever he's frustrated). He enjoyed every bite. Way to go, buddy!
Can you see the squash smeared around his lips?
