Taste Testing

This is when eating starts to become much more fun and a whole lot messier as well. Baby is now sits happily in the high chair or booster seat and actually anticipates his mealtimes. He might not be bored with cereal and fruit, but probably are and now that he is eating confidently, it is time to widen his culinary experience with lots more tastes and textures.

Remember to be flexible as introduce new foods. Baby is quite possibly not going to like every single thing you offer after all, you like some foods more than others. You might also find as you begin to add foods with a little more texture, that babies who happily scoffed a velvety puree will be deeply insulted by the merest suggestion of a lump. Don't force the issue, just proceed slowly and remember that by offering as wide a variety as possible.
