Eating Solid Foods, Round 2

At her 6-month well baby check up, Dr. McCown recommended that we start introducing solids to Aubrey Claire's diet. He suggested that we start with applesauce and alternate adding a new fruit/vegetable every 4 or 5 days. So we bought a couple of containers of the Stage 1 Applesauce thinking she'd love it! I like applesauce...Corey likes applesauce...why wouldn't Aubrey Claire like applesauce?!? Its much tastier than that cardboard-like rice cereal I tried to feed her earlier, right?! WRONG. She doesn't like it... The first few bites went "overboard". She took the spoonful of applesauce, turned and spit it out...all down the side of her little Bumbo seat. Nice. Then Corey decided to try the ole "bait and switch" trick. He let her have her paci for a minute or two, pulled it out, snuck in a spoonful of applesauce. That didn't work either - this time she didn't bother to lean over and spit it out. She just let it run down her face. Needless to say, it was time for a bath!!!

And now, the search is on for a veggie that she'll take to better than she did the applesauce!
