We have been taking things slowly as planned, in the last week Sofia has tried some pear and some sweet potato.
The pear was not as popular as I thought it would be, she struggled to hold on to it, wasn't too excited about the taste, but managed to eat a tiny amount.
The sweet potato on the other hand was a huge hit. I cut the sweet potato with a crinkle cutter to make it easier for her to grip, and roasted it in the oven. Sofia loved the taste and I could tell she was eating it, as she managed to squeeze the mushy middle out kind of like toothpaste from a tube, she smeared it across her face, neck, ears, tray etc... but some of it made it into her mouth.
unfortunately, this morning the sweet potato reappeared in her worst nappy to date, she had clearly eaten LOTS of it and it gave her diarrhea. Poor baby, I thought with this BLW she would know when she'd had enough!?
It probably wasn't anymore than a baby who's being spoon fed puree would have had though, so it's probably just her digestive system getting used to the food, it does seem that whenever she manages to ingest some food she poos for England, and she didn't seem to be in a pain or uncomfortable.
Milk only day today to give her tummy a break after all the sweet potato. I've been offering her food a couple of times a week which I was hoping would be a nice slow introduction to food, I wasn't counting on her being so greedy!
