New Mum’s Food Adventures

My baby is still cutting a molar but he is cutting two at once. Today he woke up happy but in a bad food mood. He only ate the avocado. He hates the texture of broccoli. I decided to reoffer. He gagged simply touching it to his tongue. But if it’s mashed he loves it. He normally loves pasta. I made gluten free red lentil creamy tomato pasta with peas. Usually loves peas. Hated that too today but this doesn’t mean I should give up and never make the dish again. He was simply unhappy due to teething pain and discomfort. He didn’t even eat banana and he loves banana. So after he had a nap I made another dish more gentle on the mouth but an easy yummy flavour that wouldn’t be quickly rejected. This is hard to do depending on what your baby likes and dislikes. I’ll write about that in my next post.

The pasta was very simple like in previous posts. All gluten free. But I would say the tomato sauce stung if the gum where the tooth has finally cut. I haven’t checked but foods like this tend to be rejected. He only enjoyed the cold avocado. The good thing about avocado is it’s so gentle and mild it’s unlikely to cause discomfort.
