Baby Food & Prices

Why is my daughter so picky? Ava had been able to eat baby food for three months now, and she has been able to eat adult food for ½ month. Ava doesn’t like eating anything. I’ve tried baby sweet potatoes, baby green beans, pears, peaches, bananas, any kind of baby food. She doesn’t like any of it, so always spits it out and makes funny faces. At first I thought that was ok because she was getting use to it. No! She still hates it and doesn’t want any part of eating baby food. I have been trying to give her adult food now, such as mash potatoes, a little piece of noodle, and any kind of liquid substance. The only thing I found out is that Ava likes ice cream. Of course she likes ice cream mostly everyone likes ice cream. She doesn’t like anything besides ice cream, and she can’t live on ice cream. Not only is ice cream really bad for you, she needs healthy food, ice cream is not healthy food. Hopefully the older she gets she will start liking different foods because as of right now all she like is her bottle and no kinds of foods. Ava is in the right percentile and height and everything for her age so it’s not affecting her right now, but soon I will have to start shoving stuff in her mouth until she likes it (which I try to do now).

 Baby food, is cheap but when you go through a lot every day because your child wastes it all it gets expensive. I knew having Ava was going to be expensive, especially since I love dressing her up and buying a lot of clothes and shoes and head bands for her but I didn’t realize really how much money she is.  I love it and I am still going to buy her everything unnecessary she “needs”. Everything is expensive for babies, from food to clothes to diapers. I don’t know how they can price baby clothes at $20 for just an outfit. $2 for two jars of baby food.  Its ridicules! Having a baby, I guess you have to pay the price literally.
