Sophie did not drink much milk over the thanksgiving weekend with us. But she was drinking back to normal when she went back to daycare yesterday. Maybe she doesn't like to be fed by me?!
We are off to a rocky start for finger foods. I started her off on bits of avocado and banana. That time, she still tried to pick up the slimy things and put it into her mouth, although none went in successfully. Then she had puffs, which she also tried to put into her mouth, but without success.
The next few days, I tried to give her bananas coated in oatmeal, so they were less slippery. She tried to pick them up, but did not try to put any into her mouth this time. After a few attempts, she became disinterested. She did not care for the puffs either.
Yesterday I gave her steamed broccoli trees. I tried them in front of her to prove they were not poisonous. She held it, looked a little disgusted and dropped it aside. I tried a few more times, and each time she dropped them aside after a while.
She used to like her sweet potato dinners and was also ok when I added mashed chicken to it. Now she does not care for dinners. Maybe she's too tired for dinner? Maybe she's bored of the food? Maybe she does not like to be fed by me? This baby is so difficult to understand regarding food!
This morning, Sophie went for her 9 month wellness checkup. Doc said we could start her off on table food, and told me not to be so uptight about her consumption of milk and overly calculative on the salt and sugar in her food. Maybe she will grow up not liking food, like me.
Anyway, I'm giving her some salmon later!
