Parenting is such a blast. Though I’m still absolutely in love with nursing, creating a safe space for Winnie to explore her first foods has been a thrill. She’s been snatching green leafy veggies off my plate for weeks, so we decided to start letting her sit in on mealtimes, plucking out the baby-friendly bits of our own meals and letting Win go to town smushing and grabbing and gnawing to her heart’s content. Here’s a list of what Winnie has tried so far— a list we hope to grow grow grow!
- Broccoli rabe
- Pulled pork
- Roast chicken
- Pierogies
- Potato pancakes
- Roasted red peppers
- SO MANY PICKLES (half sours, duh)
- Comté
- Landaff
- Pears
- Salad greens
- Green beans
- Banana
- Naan
- Beets
- Apple
- Spaghetti squash
- Vermont Creamery Chèvre
(PS: We chose this route in consultation with Winnie’s pediatrician and with the help of this book. We know it’s not for everyone, but boy are we having fun!)
