Riku meets apple

We have recently started to slowly introduce solid foods- we are doing a combination of "traditional weaning" (i.e. cereals and purees) and "baby-led weaning", which means giving babies non-pureed foods (age appropriate) and letting them explore the textures and tastes themselves, so giving half a banana for example rather than mashed banana. As you can imagine it can be quite messy!

Here is a vidoe of Riku trying apple puree for the first time- he pulled the same kind of faces when he first tried a piece of apple- even if the apple seems quite sweet to an adult, it must be quite sour to a baby, or that's what it looks like anyway!
