Myles hates anything that's real food. Makes a face like you're poisoning him, spits most of it out, clamps his mouth shut. Okay, maybe I should backtrack and use past tense because it appears that magically, at 8 months almost exactly, he likes food! Today he started squash and polished off the jar in the same day! Never has that happened. Usually the day we start the food, we get maybe a tablespoon in him and it takes until the next evening to either finish the jar or throw it out.
He's never had squash before today. My attempt with him and carrots made me not real hopeful about light colored vegetables. But he cleaned it up! The idea of my baby of 3 square meals a day is amazing. He'll still nurse, of course, until he's old enough to not need milk. If we can get him to use a sippy or go back on the bottle (he rejected the bottle and the pacifier at about 4 1/2 months on his own) I can just pump, but since he's allergic to milk still, he can't have formula. He has some special, milk and soy free formula that he used to drink, but I tasted it for the first time last week - Nutramigen - and it's DISGUSTING! It tastes like licking a dirty metal spoon. No wonder he hates it. I wonder if his rejection of the bottle was halfway about what was in it part of the time.
