Today Cooper had his 4 month immunisations. After two injections, the third was an oral one. "Don't worry," the maternal health nurse told Cooper, "you'll like this one - it's yummy!" She was wrong... he didn't like it! He cried and spit half of it out.
We came home and he was a little out of sorts, so I gave him some baby panadol. Yummy cherry flavour. He didn't like that either. More squirming away and faces.
At dinner time, he was sitting in his highchair, intently watching us eat our tea. I put some mashed sweet potato on my finger and held it towards him. He grabbed at it pulled it into his mouth and sucked. Then, boy did the faces come! So funny! Apparently he did didn't like that either.
Seems the only taste my boy likes is that of breast milk for now!
Might be just "Oh my that's too wierd!". It must be so unusual to taste other things when you've only ever had milk.
ReplyDeleteYeah, would be weird. We will try again, obviously, but since he's only 4 months, there's no hurry to get him on solids. We'll just let him have tastes when we're eating appropriate stuff and he looks interested :)
