I was all excited to make my own baby food (easiest recipes to follow ever!). After trip to the local organic market, I have a nice freezer stash of carrots, butternut squash, sweet potatoes and green beans. On Monday, I was excited to test out my 'creations' now that Ash is six months old. The verdict? So far, carrots are not a hit. This was the first veggie we tried after rice and oats, and Ash responded by spitting out the carrots (compared to scarfing down the grains) and making lovely gagging sounds. I hope this is not a sign that she doesn't like veggies, as despite feeling nauseous, I ate every veggie under the sun while preggo in an effort to expose the little one to many flavours.I hope tomorrow's attempt at butternut squash goes better than carrots did!

I have one veggie hater and one who eats almost anything, I hope you get one of the latter! Sweet potato is almost always a hit, squash didn't go over too well here. Keep trying though, 6 months is still pretty young, right now they are just experimenting with all of the new tastes and textures.
BTW, super cute baby!
I don't have kids yet, but I've heard you have to give it to them at least seven times before you know if they really don't like a new food. That's what my sister had to do with my nephew, and now he eats just about anything.
Good luck!
What a cutie! It is true--you often need to introduce a food as many as 12 times before kids decide they like it. Don't worry--this was just number one! And I am sure she will like other veggies, even if she does turn out to not like carrots...
Good luck!

Thanks for the words of encouragement! Good to know that I will have to try stuff over and over...looks like I will have to do it with squash too since she REALLY didn't like that either :(
What a cutie, and great bib too!
Oh no!! Ate least she has a super cute bib :-)
OMG, look at that face! So cute!
Definitely keep trying, a little bit at a time. It really works.
