Giving Luke baby food did not go so well, so we took a break for a couple of weeks. We could see that he wasn't enjoying it and I didn't want food to be something "forced" upon him. Then I was at Wal-Mart a couple of weeks ago and came across a couple of things I thought Luke might like to make eating food more enjoyable!
First we got a mesh food holder. This is great for slices of fruit or chunks of veggies. He can suck on the mesh and get some food through it. It's small bits that he can't choke on. Here's Luke giving it a go!
He likes apple! :)
I also bought him some banana flavored puff pieces. These are like cereal, but they dissolve within seconds.
He's good at picking them up. They don't always make it in his mouth the first time, but he's getting better with each puff and already knows which fingers the puff needs to be in to put it in his mouth. It's so fun to watch him figure it out.
Then, I also bought a squeezeable pouch of sweet potato and apple. Luke loved this way more than being spoon fed. He can suck through the "straw like part".
Yum!
Yay for making eating more fun! We love it when he's happy!
