[blparent] making vegetables yummy for baby

[Erin Rumer]

Thanks for all that great advice all and yes I've recently discovered that
Dawson loves hummus.  I've even taken some of the little bit stronger
tasting veggies like broccoli and put a little bit of mashed potatoes on
them before offering to Dawson and they go right in without a problem.  Yes,
like you said cheese is great but I am being careful of it so he doesn't
want it with everything and also since cheese is constipating.

That contraption is great for teething if you put an ice cube in it.
