Oatmeal vs. Rice
Posted By pamelamyers on February 6, 2010
And oatmeal appears to win! Since Sam was not loving her rice cereal, I decided to try oatmeal instead. Everyone told me that it is more palatable (rice allegedly tastes like paste), so I thought it was worth a try. Last night Sam had oatmeal for the first time. I can’t exactly say she loved it, but I think she hated it less than the rice, so that’s something. I thought maybe she needed a little more flavor, so I also tried giving her a little tiny bit of bananas. Well, let’s just say Sam is so far NOT a banana fan. The face she made was priceless. She literally shook her head in that way that adults do when tasting something particularly horrible — you know, almost like you get the chills from the taste. I didn’t torture her too much with the bananas and stuck to oatmeal. Today she did better with the oatmeal. Almost all of it stayed in her mouth, and I even got a few smiles. I think she is just having trouble with the concept of solids in her mouth, but I will keep plodding away. One day she will get it, and hopefully like eating solid food. She was very interested in the pasta we ate tonight, so I told her no Italian food until she masters baby stuff first!

I bet she will like other fruits besides bananas.
