Sometimes for after a couple of months eating solids with gusto some babies suddenly refuse the spoon, this often coincides with introducing meat. This is usually because of two main reasons:

• texture – it is harder to get a smooth consistency pureeing meat than fruits and vegetables.
• metallic taste – you can try and conceal this by pureeing fruits such as pear or apple along with some vegetables into your meat purees.

Here is my recipe for a breakfast makeover pineapple paradise smoothie, but really they options and ingredients you can use are pretty limitless! Try mixing in seasonal fruits – peaches, nectarines and apricots are all perfect, as are berries.
