Blech!

What do you do when you introduce a new food and you get the, "Ick, Mom's giving me poison!" face?

I just keep on rolling. DD makes it clear that she doesn't want the food when she spits it out or turns her head away. I think all babies make faces at new tasts.

Yep, I just keep trying. By the third or fourth bite he realizes it's not so bad. If by then he is spitting it out repeatedly or refusing to even open his mouth for it, I stop and give him something different and then try the 'offending' food again in a day or two.

I get the giggles, which probably doesn't help. . . . Typically, a new food requires a couple of days of "trial" before she tucks into it with zest.
She's really only rejected one food so far. I froze the rest of what I had made to try again later.
HTH!
