At first I mixed it with organic applesauce or pearsauce because it made it easier to swallow. Avocadoes or bananas are good soft starter foods, but sometimes texture is the problem. Some babies and toddlers just don't like the textures of certain foods. So if she doesn't like mushy, try some of those meltable finger foods. Sam loved the Earth's Best graham crackers. Even if she doesn't actually eat the food, she'll start playing with it and putting it in her mouth and tasting it. And the more she tastes and experiments the more she'll warm up to food.<br /><br />I don't that any of this is of any help since my son started eating solids at about 9 months, but keep at it. And don't fret. And definitely find yourself a new pediatrician that encourages you to nurse as long as you (and your wee one) would like!!!<br /><br />Good luck.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13825917249577062457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321710438703162714.post-47404095040534674142010-05-19T07:23:44.154-04:002010-05-19T07:23:44.154-04:00I can so relate to this.

Check.<br /><br />I write recipes for one of the sites I work for; I posted a few hear. With some modifications, we've gotten Gunnar eating all of these. We just pulse the meat through the food processor a little since he still can't figure out how to swallow large pieces. <br /><br />These are all whole foods, and are really quick to make. Good luck!<br /><br />http://dinner-recipes.suite101.com/article.cfm/easy_one_pan_sausage_recipe<br /><br />http://recipes.suite101.com/article.cfm/healthy_taco_salad_recipe<br /><br />http://recipes.suite101.com/article.cfm/quick_pork_stir_fry_recipeBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11848143041881649504noreply@blogger.com
