“Hey Den, remember how I said I had concerns about this high chair because the wipeable fabric only goes up shoulder-height and it’s cotton above that? And you said it was fine, that food would never go up that high anyways?”<\/p>\n
Yeah. Ha ha ha. Den refused to admit that he had ever said such a foolish thing!<\/p>\n
We have started solids. I did buy some gerber first foods, but I felt like some kind of traitor doing so. I do plan to follow more of a Baby Led Solids approach – that is, steaming veggies really well and mostly offering foods to her in a normal, mushy state – that is, not highly pureed.<\/p>\n
We started with sweet potato. Giving her chunks didn’t work because it was so soft she just smashed it and didn’t get much in her mouth. She’s already capable of putting the spoon in her mouth (and is insistent on doing it herself!<\/i>) so today I just put a bit on the spoon and handed it over for her to suck on and bang around. I think she may even have actually ate a tiny bit… before starting to spit it out, lol! It’s obvious she reaches her threshold pretty quickly, but she didn’t dislike<\/i> it. Actually she was leaning forward and opening her mouth when I held out the spoon for her.<\/p>\n
But, yes… very very messy! Why on earth did I give her a bath earlier today?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
