Jake is 11 months old soon and last week started refusing baby food. As soon as he sees it he grimaces and as you bring the spoon towards him he shakes his head and if you persist to put the spoon in his mouth he screams.
At daycare, they tried giving him freshly cooked green beans today and reported that he first mashed the beans with his hands, then fed it to himself. Essentially, it ended up exactly like the baby food they tried to feed him so I guess it's not the food that he is protesting but the idignity of being spoon fed by someone!
On a better note, daycare said Jake was helping teacher take care of a younger baby. He brought a toy ball over and offered to the baby. What a nice boy!
