I still have the stuff to make chicken ceasar wraps but am too lazy. Josh is picking up food from a restaurant on the way home.

[Rachel]

we had baked mac n cheese and Sienna had shredded chicken with peas, carrotts and corn but she didn't eat much of it. And when I got back from tanning Josh said her meal smelled really bad that's weird 'cuz it didn't smell at all to me.

[Ashley]

[Rachel]

strange.... out of the carrots, peas and corn that Sienna is eating for dinner tonight. She appears to be seeking out the pears weird

[Ashley]

[Rachel]

[Ashley]

[Rachel]

sienna had strawberries for dinner - she liked em

[Ashley]

oh naughty not supposed to give em those till theyre one im telling

[Rachel]

I haven't read that anywhere. If that were the case then they shouldn't make strawberry flavored baby foods including the gerber puffs and yogurt

[Ashley]

yeah they make a few foods w/strawberries in them, a point i made to Serenitys ped. after she told me no strawberries till one, im surprised youve never heard that though...

The BabyCenter Editorial Team
Berries, particularly strawberries, are a fairly common allergen. That's why dietitians and pediatricians recommend introducing whole berries and jams made with berries slowly, and only after your child's first birthday. At that point your baby's digestive system is fairly developed, she's had a few months of experience eating other solid foods, and she's generally less likely to have a serious reaction. If your family has a history of asthma or allergies to food or plants (such as hay fever), you might want to wait even longer.

Signs of food allergy include swelling of the tongue, lips, and face; skin rash; wheezing; abdominal cramping; vomiting; or diarrhea. If your baby has a reaction like this after eating berries, call your pediatrician as soon as possible.

"Strawberries and blueberries also pose a choking hazard, so they should be cut into small pieces until your baby can chew them completely," says Susan Moores, a registered dietitian in St. Paul and a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. Berries are slippery and often slide whole down a baby's throat before she's had a chance to chew. A good rule is to cut blueberries in half and other berries into fingertip-sized pieces until your child is at least 2.

Some babies also have trouble digesting the seeds found in berries such as blackberries and raspberries. If you notice any seeds in your child's dirty diaper don't be alarmed. It may look strange, but it just means the seeds passed harmlessly through your baby

im sure shes fine but just wanted you to know i wasnt making it up

[Rachel]

checking my list of gathered info I made a while back... Citrus fruits 9-12 months but I don't think strawberries count as that... *reading on* hmmm berries 18-24 months but do strawberries really count as 'berries'? we don't have any food allergies so I'm going to assume if she was going to be allergic to strawberries she would have had a reaction to the puffs or yogurt bites or even the real strawberries by now

[Ashley]

strawberries DO count as berries and some even say 2 years as your list says, Serenity had real strawberries for the first time at her birthday party, however i did give her orange juice, pineapple juice, and chunks of pineapple before she was one but only in small amounts...i know when my ped. told me i wasnt even aware about the strawberries, and she wasnt aware they made baby food with strawberries in it and then i stopped buying the strawberry puffs

[Ashley]

i think tonight its gunna be chicken quesadillas

[Rachel]

I keep meaning to go downstairs and get something out of the freezer to thaw out oops

[Ashley]

tsk tsk

[Rachel]

whateverrrr I can always make breakfast again
