A not-so-successful attempt at babyfood

At our 4 month appointment with Hudson the other day our pediatrician told us he is changing the way he recommends baby food. He no longer recommends cereal first for two reasons.

1. Grains are one of the most common allergies so putting them off until they are a little older can help prevent an allergy.

2. many babies do not like cereal and it can create a spoon aversion making them leary to try other foods.

So he now says do veggies first, then meats, then fruit and finally add some cereal to the fruit. He also says some babies aren't quite ready at 4 months and if they are not to wait a couple weeks and try again.

So...we tried peas. Hadley loved them and we were hoping for the same with Hudson. Not quite. I did not take pictures of the first night because he not only didn't like them...he hated them! We waited a few days, tried again, and had a little better luck. Still only got a few spoonfuls in but a little more successful. Maybe a few more attempts and we will be able to get some weight on this kid!
