holly - smooshing food is all part of them learning about food....Alex is in the same boat - not liking pureed food.. he wants what I'm eating, so has had toast, saladas, vegies, celery (he gums it), carrots.. sometimes its a fishing trip into his mouth to get it out, but he seems quite happy to have a mouth full of soggy bread or salada. I watch him like a hawk, but he just sits there with it in there. I also give him whatever we are having, and just blend it, so there are no chokables in it.. I just watch Alex and go with his flow.. sometimes he eats a lot of solids and other days he's just testing the textures etc. I bought some rice cakes and tried him with those - he was smashing them up into little pieces
Ali - good to hear you have got a new godfather.
Shellbell - I really doubt I would be able to cope with two kids - PTSD and stress just don't mix.
