Broccoli Boy

A little update on Finley’s eating… he has been eating better as of a few weeks ago. He went through a spell where he wanted nothing to do with food.  One thing still stands for him though, he HATES fruit!  I have tried baby food fruits of all kinds and I have made him fresh fruit cooked and strained and he likes neither.  Nope… Finley loves his vegetables…well, carrots aside (he still doesn’t like carrots). His favorites so far are broccoli, green beans and squash. He has also decided he no longer likes rice cereal so we switched to whole grain cereal.  I admit I sneak some fruit into his cereal on most days.  Honestly after his picky spell I resorted to feeding him tastes of whatever I was eating that was ok for him and that seems to be going well. My theory on food and allergies and all is that everything in moderation helps them build tolerance to things. We are careful with the major allergies risks but other than that Finley is really starting to taste what the world has to offer!

  3. Erin, I loved the broccoli boy pictures. There is something special about seeing a baby with green food on his face. We love steamed broccoli with home-grown Meyer lemon and California olive oil. Come on over for a broccoli party!Love, Aunt Marcia
