Pea Drama




In our efforts to get Livia up to 50% solids in her daily diet we started vegetables. It was recommended to us that we introduce them first to let her get the taste of veggies before fruits since just about everyone loves fruit. Monday at noon we finished up the jar of pears with no problem. For her 4:00 feeding Sarah gave her cereal and then we started some peas. Livie made the funniest face but she usually makes a funny face when you switch her from cereal to her fruit or vegetable. The second bite she pushed the peas back out of her mouth with her tongue. The third bite she made herself gag. I decided she was done with peas but that we'd try it again on Tuesday (they want them to eat the same solid for 3-4 days in a row when it's first introduced to make sure there isn't an allergy). Bobi tried to feed her peas at noon again but she once again gagged herself. We won't try peas for a very long time. On a happy solids note she does like sweet potatoes.
