Bryce and his Cuisine

Thus far in his development, Bryce has been quite picky when it comes to his solid food. It is slow going finding something that he enjoys because we have been instructed by the doctor to feed him each flavor at least 3 days in a row before moving on so we can be certain he is not allergic to anything we try. Thus far, we have tried apple sauce, bananas, sweet potatoes & carrots. Only the carrots were met with undoubtable enthusiasm. The others were mostly negative, with some relative ambivalence expressed towards the sweet potatoes. We will post some of the reactions here. First, the apple sauce:



Clearly a negative reaction. This surprised us because who doesn't like applesauce? Well, I guess our son. At any rate, he struggled through the sauce for 3 days and then we moved on to bananas. There is no video of the banana experiment, but suffice it to say there was a good deal of grimacing and gagging going on during it. So we moved on. Sweet potatos were next:




The video makes it look like he hated it. That was before we heated it up. After that, he seemed okay with the stuff. Still, not great. The next try was carrots:




Much more of the type of reaction we were hoping for. So now if he never likes anything else, we can give him carrots every day for the rest of his young life. If we do that, by the time he is 8 he will be able to see into the future. Here is a video review by Bryce himself explaining his feelings on carrots and their relative benefits.




And here is Bryce's typed review that he will type in himself right now:
