Ashlee Duffy recommended pouches of food when I told her we were having trouble getting Juliet to really take to solids. I spent a solid forty-five minutes reading the ingredients of all the pouches in Target to find the ones that were closest to what we'd make at home. Plum Organics is the only brand I could find that didn't add water (or other things). All of their pouches contain only organic [whatever fruit and/or vegetable] and organic lemon juice. This video is of her eating peas. She seems to like fruit better than vegetables, presumably because they're sweeter?
I apologize for the quality of this video and how my arm was in the way for the first half. It was very hard to get this video for you and feed her with a spoon. Also, how hilarious is Ninja's sniffing nose?
I think these pouches helped Juliet figure out what to do with the solids. Maybe because she could suck the puree out of the straw thing? In addition to giving her pouches of food now, I give her mashed up banana and sweet potato. The texture is different from the pouches - not as smooth - but she still knows what to do. I have to laugh, though, at how she still spits some of it back out. She is light years ahead of where she was a week ago. She can and will eat about 4 ounces of solid at a sitting now. It's nuts!
We miss you!
