Baby tries peas for the first time and her reaction isn’t what you’d expect

Vaseline

When this girl first tried green peas, she wasn’t a fan. But she handled the experience like a champ.

A mother named Tyiesha has chronicled her life with her daughter, Leila-Charm, on the Growing Up with Leila TikTok page. Her posts feature the now six-month-old baby’s milestones and experiences, but her first time tasting peas is by far the fans’ favorite video.

In the clip, Tyiesha gives Leila a bite of the green goo, and Leila looks super excited. When she takes a bite, she is disgusted, but finds the gross taste hilarious.

Mom says her baby is very adventurous with new foods

The baby laughs as she gags on the peas, and her mother bursts out laughing. Tyiesha also had super mom vibes at the end of the video. Even though she was laughing so hard that her eyes were closed, she still knew exactly when Leila was going to spit out the peas, and she reached out her hand to catch it.

“I’m a new mom and I video her all the time,” Tyiesha shared Newsweek. “She is very photogenic. Since I started her journey with new foods, I always turn on the camera to film her, among other things, because her personality is captivating.

Tyiesha said her baby has been adventurous with solids, and while she isn’t always happy with the taste, her “curiosity” keeps her willing to keep trying new things.

“There are challenges in choosing things for her to eat to cultivate her taste buds, because I definitely want her to enjoy a lot of foods and not be afraid to try anything in the future.”

Just a week after posting, the video has been viewed nearly 2 million times. And Tyiesha wasn’t surprised it went viral.

“I think it’s popular because it’s such an honest moment,” she said. “It reminded many people of the precious moments they shared with their child at that age.”
