Carrots

Photo0639

Is it too early to say my daughter is a picky eater??

She half-heartedly ate rice cereal for a week. Then we started oatmeal, and she really took to it! So a week later, I lovingly made some homemade carrot baby food. Violet took one bite, made the biggest stink face you have ever seen, and threw up everywhere! This was two days ago, and yesterday I gave her a carrot-break and fed her only oatmeal. This morning I tried giving her another bite of carrots (clueless-mom moment: she was wearing her new, beautiful, all-white outfit) and she threw up everywhere again! Anyway, the remainder of the homemade carrot baby food is in the freezer now, and I'll wait a few weeks before I try that again! Any suggestions for her next new food? I would prefer for it to be a vegetable.

  1. Henry has never been a big fan of carrots. His favorites are green beans and sweet potatoes. Be careful with the sweet potatoes or Violet's skin will turn orange. I learned that the hard way when he ate too much too often :)

  2. Sweet potatoes and butternut squash were always big hits with Carly. And her skin turned orange too from too many orange based veggies too. No big deal though, it's not too hard to reverse. Issue likes something else you can always mix it in with the carrots so you can get some use out of them. Avocados are also awesome... Carly loved them at that age.

  3. Ellie loves sweet potatoes too! She's never had so many that her skin has turned orange...but the first time I gave them to her, she od'd (clueless mom...) and was sick in the middle of the night.
