We had a recnt break through in that i realised it was more the texture/feel of fruit she dosnt respond well too as she will eat raisins and dried fruit and toast/fruit toast/ muffins with only a smidge of butter but as soon as you give banana, peas anything like that its from the hand to the floor. She will eat dried fruit, dried cereal, crackers, breadsticks, toastm most of the time as well as her meals but this varies as she has a definate sweet tooth although iv tried not to overlly encourage this.
I am happy for her to experiment, feel, get used to foods through playing with etc as i know exploring this is half the journey to babies then eating foods offered to them but she has been offered finger foods from 9 months and still its the dried food thats the winner even though she is offered a wide selection of foods fruit,veg,cereals etc. She will eat fruit and veg in her baby food (i have one bowl i feed her from and another static bowel that sticks to her tray that has finger foods in. Tried many things, sometimes i give the bowel before her food, sometimes after, sometimes just the tray. I have given just veg before and then just dried and tehn a mix of the 2 etc but still she is strong in her prefernce. I know its not a race and happy for her to get their in own time just wondered if all you helpful mummies/nannies had any good ideas??
Tomorrow im making fruit pancakes with vanilla for mum and dad to try at the weekend for breakfast. Yum!!
