Tricks for introducing solids to a stubborn baby
nostrebor:
I can vouch for the newspaper trick!
Seriously, our daughter was (is) a terrible eater. It just was not important to her to eat. Because she was our firstborn, we were extremely alarmed by this and tried all the tricks. Finally the doctor just looked me in the eye and said "Her body will not let itself starve to death. When she gets hungry enough, she'll eat." He was right.
I agree with the other suggestions (with the exceptions of the friskies) to just keep offering her the foods. Don't force them on her. She will come around.
ChadTower:
Friskies probably have too much Fructose anyway.

Mebbe a swat on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper?

Ugh . . . I wish, for once, you could be helpful. I'm not retarded. Those were the methods of first resort. The choo choo train wasn't even attempted until the shaking and smacking proved ineffective.
To stick with the peanut bit, I rememember a news story about a year ago regarding a teenage girl who killed her boyfriend by making out with him shortly after eating a PB&J sandwich. How bad would that suck?
ChadTower:
That was right before she joined the X-Men, right?
Maybe Carlos can get the baby to eat solids.

I heard about that one. Then I heard it was just an urban legend.
