I was really excited to try baby led weaning this time around with food. The thought of not having to puree everything and letting him learn food himself was exciting. So, on his 6 month birthday night we decided to let him play around with avocado. Despite not much actually going into his mouth he seemed to love it. It was adorable watching him try to pick up the slippery pieces and explore them in his mouth.
Aaaaand then fast forward to 2am when we hear him gagging and throwing up. I frantically ran upstairs to find avocado and milk everywhere. The kid had spewed it all out all over the place. Derek had a fit and said everything needed to be pureed again and no more baby led weaning. Doc said it must have just been a fluke and that most likely he wasn't allergic since there were no other side effects. Poor guy!
We have done bananas, which he LOVES, and sweet potatoes, which he does NOT love, since then and plan to do pears and squash soon!
Aww poor guy. Hopefully it doesn't happen again!
