Our picky eater
Well, we were finally given the go ahead to try solids with the kids, but Jude has other ideas. He wants nothing to do with it. I have tried pears, sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans, and bananas. He says, "no" to all of them. He makes a horrible face and after a few bites, he looks like he wants to barf. I keep trying, but all he wants right now is rice cereal. A picky eater already? Oh no! What will I ever do? Will he not like my cooking? We will have to work on this. C'mon Jude.

Perhaps you could try adding just a tiny bit of pear or applesauce into the rice cereal to gradually introduce the new flavors...
It just takes time. It took us several tries on everything, including rice cereal to even get Haddie interested in solid foods. He will get there!'
Kassidy also took several tries on many foods. I think it took her most of a week on green beans and I'd just give her 1-2 bites at each meal. Now she gobbles them up! Praying for patience for you and an open mind (and mouth) for Jude. :)
Hi Heidi
Here are a few websites you might want to take a look at.
The last two are very good.

Creative ways to present the food is a must and patience.
We can not believe how much Jude and Hazel are growing and developing.
We will be praying for you all to have safety when you move to Washington:)
