Baby M looooves watermelon. His first taste was at a daycare
buddy’s third birthday party and he’s been hooked ever since. But I just don’t
think I’m going to be able to keep watermelon on the menu anymore, at least not
for the rest of this season.
No matter how I cut it, slice it or wedge it, baby M gags on
watermelon. I don’t know what it is about the fruit, it’s definitely soft
enough and mashes up easily, but for whatever reason no matter how it’s served
he manages to bite off a big piece and it gets gagged up again.
Most recently I cut finger sized pieces – long rectangles
that I thought were the perfect solution. And they were, til he gagged on them
yesterday. I can sit back and let him gag his food up for a few unpanicked ,
but I obviously can’t give him foods I know he’ll gag on. So sorry, little
buddy, watermelon is off the menu ‘til next summer.
