Hi again
Gosh I haven't popped in on this thread in awhile and I think i've missed out on some good tips! I'll have to do some back reading.
My question is about giving DS some herbal tea (warm or cold) as an alternative to water. He drinks enough water but I just thought it might be a nice change up and introduce new flavours...what do you think? I'm thinking ones that are just a fruit flavour would be safe?
Anna, we're not strict about offering foods three days in a row etc. until I get suspicious of something giving DS gas. And if I think what I've got is too rich for his system I just give him a bit of it then balance it out with something blander like rice or bread.
Also, we're getting picky with veggies...any suggestions? Sweet potato, yams, carrots and squash are out if you can believe it. I'm still offering them once in awhile though in case he changes his mind. I have a hunch its a texture thing as much as taste. But he loves mashed potato, so go figure.
Katy, we're doing 3 meals and 1-2 snacks. C seems to be a big eater, too. Bananas disapear in about 2 min flat! On top of it he's still having 5 or 6 full BFs.
