First Foods We Tried

First Foods We Tried

I am gearing up for a full update on all things Coco related, to mark a very exciting milestone. I will write an update on feeding and weaning, as part of that, in the meantime, here is a little taster on the first foods we tried.

Homemade brown rice cereal [recipe]

Boiled & pureed apple

Boiled and pureed pear

Cucumber sticks

Apple wedges (skin removed)

Banana sticks

Boiled sweet potatoe wedges (skin removed)

Orange wedges (skin removed)

Carrot sticks

Mashed unripe avocado

Boiled brown rice granules

Mango  wedges (peeled)

We have already introduced some finger food as you may spot in the list above, such as cucumber sticks, and I am happy to report that there has ben no choking or issues with gagging. It has taken a level of trust and I watch her carefully and never leave her side when she is having food, not even for two seconds. It might be because she isn't actually swallowing much of these finger foods - I see a lot of sucking and biting and some chewing.
