Mommy read somewhere that you should attempt introducing new foods as many as 15 - 20 times over a period of several weeks or months. If your little guy still turns up his nose to a particular food at that point, accept it and move on. So, over the past couple weeks, Brian has been trying a variety of new table foods. This was one of his first tries......bananas. Over all, not a huge success on it's first outing. On the plus side, Mommy and Daddy have also been learning a few things about introducing new foods as well. For example, these bananas were cut just a little too small. The combination of their size and the slick feel to them made them hard for him to pick up which caused him to loose interest in them very quickly. With this knowledge under our belts, we will try bananas again soon to see how it goes on outing #2!
As we have said in a previous post, crackers were a HUGE success and continue to be fun for both Brian and Walter, who enjoys all items that fall off the high chair.
Scrambled eggs were also tested a couple weeks ago. At that time, Brian didn't have a lot of interest in them other than just for play. However, given the number of things he has been willing to sample off his parents plates over the past week, we think he is ready for another go-round with these too. More details as they become available!
