I thought I knew it all, but feeding my picky second-born child has been humbling, to say the least. daniellebraff
When it came to my second child, another daughter, I started her on solids in the same way: Homemade purées filled with beets, bananas, avocados and weird combos of all of the above, just to get her used to exotic food combinations.The faces she made when I tried shoving chickpea purees into her mouth were as if I was feeding her a blend of dirt and rat poison.
