But what if I don't like yams?

After a lot of thought Wren was offered yams as his almost-first food. I say almost first because he had lurched forward and gnawed off some pieces of banana a week ago. He was then offered banana and ate a bit.

Yams were the OFFICIAL first food, with a few drops of La Sante iron. He ate a few spoonfuls and then this happened:



It was very intentional. He would work hard to gum and then spit it out. Since then he has refused to swallow much yam (with or without iron). I have moved onto a bit of avocado which he prefers and loves to suck off a spoon. Next, we plan to give him some squash and then pear puree. I think he will like pears.

He appears to like the taste of onions. He loves to gnaw the juicy (oniony) end of garlic sprouts.
