Help! H is refusing veggies...what do you serve?
H used to eat anything that didn't eat her first basically. Now she's becoming more picky and won't eat veggies. Anything I can make or offer her that she can get some veggies in her? Do I go back to the purees? I really hate to do that...what can I make?
Re: Help! H is refusing veggies...what do you serve?
Well, I'm not a toddler (lol) but I used to hate veggies. I bought a chopper (like the slap chop but mine's from pampered chef) to cut my veggies up teeny tiny, then saute them into dishes (works well with rice, orzo, pasta sauce, etc.)
We do the pouches as snacks. I can't find many that are "veggies" though, more seem like fruit mixes. What do you serve?
I give him the fruit veggie mixes- sweet potato/mango/millet, sweet potato/corn/apple, pumpkin/banana, zucchini/banana/amaranth, butternut squash/pear, spinach/pea/pear, broccoli/apple, etc.
N likes the fruit pouches but not the veggie+fruit ones. I just keep offering veggies to her straight.. I have a new system where I buy a frozen bag of veggies and split them into about 5 'servings' (just a few bites worth, so she sees a veggie on her plate at every dinner and/or lunch). I figure, eventually she'll give in and eat them.. she's already gone from screaming at the sight of broccoli to licking it in a week lol.. maybe next week she'll try a bite.
Nora doesn't like different foods touching each other, so other than pasta sauce it's really hard to sneak veggies in her meal. Also, it helps when I eat them too, in front of her. She's more willing to try it when she sees me eating it.
ETA: At her 18 month appointment, when the dr asked me how she was eating, I said she eats fine but it's hard to get her to eat her veggies. He said as long as I was offering/encouraging them, not to worry about it too much and that protein is what we need to push.
