Totally get what you mean about the seeds—anything with little bits was a nightmare for me too. I found even mashed potatoes were tricky if they weren’t smooth enough. It’s wild how your jaw just feels out of sync for a while... patience is key, but it’s frustrating. I always tell people, don’t rush it—your mouth really does need time to heal.

Totally agree about the patience thing—it’s like your whole mouth is trying to remember how to work again. My kiddo basically lived on yogurt and those little fruit pouches for a week. Even oatmeal was risky if it wasn’t super mushy. It’s tough watching them get frustrated, but honestly, slow and steady really does win here... even if it means you’re blending everything in sight for days.
