Feed Me


We started Rowan on solids a few weeks ago.  The previous attempts at getting him to eat cereal failed miserably, so I gave up and just decided to skip ahead.  Initially, things went great.  We started with sweet potatoes and he gobbled them up, half a jar at a time.  Ever since them, he's been all over the map.  Loves sweet potatoes, green beans and peas; hates squash and pears; still iffy on carrots and apples.  If he likes it, he will grab the spoon out of my hand and attempt to feed himself and suck down a whole jar in no time.  And if he doesn't like it, he clamps his mouth shut and refuses to eat.  It can get ugly, as he's mastered his fake cough that quickly turns to gagging and then puking on the floor.
