Stage 3

I'm struggling today with ideas for food. I got Adrian some stage 3 foods, in hopes to introduce chunkier foods. Insert pic of Gerber's newer and more improved stage 3.


Now this is banana and apples. The chunks are very soft forms of apple. I was hoping hard that he'd love it. Insert next picture.


It didn't go well. At. All. Lots of gagging and face making and then just refusal to eat. I was really discouraged and sitting there thinking now what can I do or try. He does love his puffs and yogurt melts, but I also don't want to have to give him stage two foods with added cereal for a lot longer. Then I tell myself I need to back down. I struggle with the fact that I need to remember he's still adjusted to be a 9 month old and they're still barely learning table food too. I really struggle with that. I don't want to rush him, but at the same time I find myself comparing too. I have to always remember to stop doing that.
The other struggle we have is finding that correct sippy cup! He's a stubborn little guy and will only do a few sucks on the nuby brand. It's the most success we've had yet...so I believe he just needs time. He's by far a bottle lover though! That is a for sure thing!
