Sweet potatoes weren’t such a big hit tonight. Although, once I mixed them with some rice cereal and milk Carrie was a little more receptive. Maybe they’re just too strong a flavor for her little taste buds? It wasn’t a total rejection, I just think she was shocked at the new taste. And maybe it was initially a bit thicker than it should have been. That’s the only downside to making my own baby food – it’s a guessing game about how thick to make it.
We’re leaving Carrie with my parents tomorrow for several hours to go take an infant CPR class, and I think we’ll leave them her beloved pears instead of making them deal with a sticky orange mess!
(I’m really nervous about the CPR class. I know it’s important, but thinking about all the scary things that can happen to a baby is going to be hard. I’d better bring some tissues…)
Way to go! More parents should take the time to learn infant CPR, etc. It’s so different from adults. My husband was not so thrilled, but when our son was 2 1/2 and choked on pizza cheese, he sure was glad he’d gone. Pat yourself on the back for being a great mom! (and I’m impressed that you take the time to make baby food).
