My 10 month old dd has had trouble with solid foods. She likes to eat but does not seem to like traditional baby foods. She will tolerate peas and squash but refuses fruits, sweet potato, cereal, etc.... I am beginning to think that it is the blandness that she is not happy with. A few weeks ago I gave her a few spoonfuls of VERY spicy spanish rice. She LOVED it. I thought it was a fluke. Then today I gave her some of my also VERY spicy indian rice which she also gobbled up. I would be happy to continue feeding her this kind of stuff but want her to get some veggies in because she has constipation problems. I was thinking of cooking up some nice diced sweet potato but adding some curry to the cooking water to spice it up. Is this a bad idea for a baby this young? I eat very spicy foods most days and I imagine that my bm tastes spicy too. My sweat smells spicy (TMI....sorry) so I am guessing the bm does too. I also ate my usual diet when pregnant. Could she have acquired a taste? And if so, does curry, red pepper, etc cause any digestion problems that I should be aware of?
