Well, Monkey does NOT like green beans! After going to the farmer's market, I decided the next food we would introduce to Tommy would be green beans. We bought a ton of green beans and I couldn't wait to make "Monkey Food."
As I have mentioned before, it is best to introduce new veggies one at a time; therefore, I steamed a handful of green beans. I like to take taste Monkey's food once I get done cooking and pureeing it. The green beans tasted normal. Since it was still early in the day, I decided we would feed Tommy green beans for lunch.
When we put Tommy in his high chair he gets super excited. As soon as he was in his chair he opened his mouth really wide. The first bite was small and he made a really funny face. He always makes faces when we introduce new food so we didn't think anything about it. Tommy did really good and opened his mouth again for a second bite. The second bite was bad. He looked like he was about to throw-up and then he started gagging. Like most new parents would do, we panicked just a little. Once we realized Tommy was okay, he decided we needed to give him some MORE green beans. After about 5 bites and him gagging after swallowing, we realized he did not like green beans.
A few days later, we thought we would give green beans another try. Needless to say, we had the same experience. :( Green beans are a no go for Monkey!
