Mary,

I'm not sure if there are any other issues with Trixie, but I found that adding a small jar of the sweet potatoe baby food helped make the chicken baby food and A/D more palatable for my boys. It gave it just enough "sweet" that they were okay with it... after a few nose smears. They also like it warmed, makes it smell more, so are you trying everything warm, or at room temp?
