Solid meal times are actually quite fun. I was dreading them because I thought tears, chaos, swear words and a happy dog would be involved, but each solid meal only takes about 15mins or so. Depending on the flavour.
- Nutricia's carrot. This one is the most blend-smelling baby food so far. Naturally tasty, the label reads. Nutricia must have starved the taster prior to tasting. At least the consistency was very runny so it was a lot easier to just stuff it into Nico's mouth and hope that some will trinkle inside him. But, and this is a big but: he hated it. Screwed face, pleading looks, gagging noise, grimacing, shuddering, spitting, he gave me the lot. I gave up after two spoons. Will try again in a few days' time.
Feeding Nico with the carrot this morning was rather trying, with the responses I got. So I decided to clean up and try later. I stood up and thought I was going to faint. I had been needing sleep, had been losing weight in the last few days, and now was starting to see orange spots!
Then the penny dropped.
That's what happens when a baby sneezes a mouthful of mushed carrot onto your glasses.
