The good, the bad & everything else: He hates it

He hates it

I am trying not to panic.

We fed Jayden his 1st cereal today. And like every enthusiastic parent, we were hoping to see a very delighted baby - the usual response when solid food is introduced. But to our dismay, Jayden grimaced at every spoonful served to him. I think if he could talk, it would have meant "YUCKS! WHAT WAS THAT?!" :(

I'm trying to convince myself that the reason for his rejection is due to his cold. I asked myself many questions "The mix wasn't smooth enough? Too bland? He doesn't like it? Not ready fod solids?"

WHAT COULD IT BE???

I hope it's just a passing phase. We will try again soon...
