The not-so-sweet sweet potato

Oh, it tasted fine at the time (to me). But holy heck, it did not sit well (with either me or Cameron).

I thought that sweet potato might be a good first food (other than the rice cereal). On Thursday night, Cameron ate about 4 spoonfuls; he wasn't really convinced that it was good or bad. I finished what he didn't eat. But it was bad...my stomach was angry at me a few hours later, and Cameron woke up in a LOT of pain at about 1:30am.

And he was up from then until 5am. We all were. The poor guy was arching his back and screaming; he was so gassy and just miserable! I was finally able to rock him back to sleep, just in time for me to be getting up to get ready for work. I had a lot of caffeine on Friday to compensate!

Since it bothered my stomach too, I'm thinking that it was more than Cameron just not being ready for it. But, we're still going to hold off for a bit and reintroduce sweet potatoes in maybe a month or so. I think we'll try apples next. And I won't ever make the mistake of introducing a new food before bedtime again! Lesson learned.
