She hates the chicken!

can you use your fingers to pop/stuff some food into her mouth? I do this w/ ari…I find it works best if I get the food in just behind his front teeth towards the roof of his mouth…

Naomi, hmm, beans…Sounds so yummy right about now. Do you get the Goya kind or something else?

Marianna,

Don’t worry. She’ll learn. My babies all used to do the same thing. It’s really quite normal. Babies enjoy sensory experiences and that’s why they like to play with their food. I’d keep giving it to her because seeing, touching, and smelling foods is part of them learning to eventually eat those foods. If you want to put a limit to her throwing it on the floor, that’s fine, but it’s really best to let them play with their food at that age. She’s really young and I’m sure she’ll do better in the coming months.

I buy organic beans (my supermarket, Publix, has their own brand organics) give & them straight from the can (I drain & rinse them in a colander first). goya should be fine, too. when comparing the brands of beans the 2 factors I look at are iron & sodium- mainly iron for Ari- so if there’s one can of black beans that’s 15% iron (just an example) and one brand that’s 9% then I’ll buy the brand that lists higher iron…

(not sure how this works as I would think a bean is a bean, but)
