So... as many of you know, yesterday was Xander's first taste of solids (Sweet Potato puree) and he HATED it. He pouted, whimpered, and clamped his lips shut!

So today was take 2. As soon as I put him in the high chair, he started whimpering, and when I brought the spoon with the sweet potatos near his mouth, he started crying!!! And then it took forever to calm him down! I feel terrible, but now I"m not sure what to do. Do I keep offering? Should we take a break for a week and try again later? Should I try to offer cereal instead? Should I try switching to BLW?

Also, Xander has a cold - cough and congested. Not sure if this would affect how well solids are going down, but I thought I should mention it. Any advice would be appreciated!
