I think there is a good lesson for us single child families out there. Keep it the way it is

All the best with your new addition BTT.

So the little fella is 6 months old now. Man that has gone fast! One of the issues we had with him when he was younger was constipation. As part of the remedy for this, we started him on puréed fruit at 4 months. It worked really well. But now we are trying to get him to eat other things and he won't touch them. All he'll eat is fruit. He won't touch vegetables, farex, meat based stuff. Just fruit. It's starting to get a little frustrating

Hey mate

We're in the middle of introducing all kinds of puréed food to our 4 month old too. What we are doing is making our own puréed ice blocks of all kinds of veggies and fruit, then mixing fruit and vegies together.

Pear and zucchini
Carrot and apple
Pumpkin and Pear or Apple
Etc...

my wife suggested you guys maybe try these.... Heavier on the fruit to begin with and ween the lil dude on to vegies.

Just food for thought buddy ( pun intended ) lol

good luck

We've been fortunate in that our daughter has never been a particularly fussy eater (I'm a far pickier eater than she is! ). janda's advice sounds good to me.

Hey dude!

We have done the same thing with pureed vegetables and frozen them. We have tried to mix them together twice (pear and sweet potato) but he can tell and just shuts his lips and won't let anything in.

We will try some of your combinations and see how he goes

I wish you the best of luck Trent, they can be challenging lil buggars!

Fingers crossed for ya

Yesterday afternoon my daughter and I watched the first 7 episodes of TF Victory. After tucking her into bed, as I walked away from her room I could hear her saying:
"Let's Say Go!"
"Multi-Out!"
"Brain set!"


She also...
* initially thought that God Ginrai was Optimus Prime. I explained to her that it's not; didn't go into too much detail - just let her know that Ginrai is someone else who just looks like Optimus Prime.
* discovered that the Autobots are called Cybertrons and the Decepticons are called Destrons.
* compared the Micromaster Rescue Patrol with Rescue Bots (and says that Blades is still her favourite).
* really likes Star Sabre's Brainmaster unit (Brain of Courage).
* thinks that the Dino Force are really mean (because they killed Jean's parents) but also really cute - especially Kakuryuu. Although Yokuryuu kinda scares her.
* loves the ending theme song and laughs whenever she hears the line about bed wetting.
