Sweet tooth


Hanna

Recommended Posts

Hi there

 

My baby (Gizmo) is almost 3 months now. He has a real sweet tooth and just loves grapes, apples etc. He actually goes to the refrigerator and calls me to come and give him a grape. What other "safe" sweet foods could I offer him?

 

Also, I'm having a real battle getting him to eat veggies. The only veggie he's interested in to some degree are carrots (sweetish). I've tried mixing veggies with some of his favourite foods, but all in vain. How do I get him interested in not-so-sweet stuff?

Since he is so young, he is just starting to develop his food preferences. It's up to you to continue presenting healthy nutritious choices, not just high sugar fruits. Nothing wrong with a little of those, but they should come later in the day, and not very much of them. Present vegetables every single morning, whether or not he eats them. Show him how tasty they are by modeling for him (or at least pretending to!), MMMMMM! Try different sizes of cut vegetables from chunks to food processed. You may also want to introduce him to a mash diet at this age - check out the Yahoo forum, Feeding Feathers for great diet information in their files section. With patience and persistence on your part, he will be eating a healthy diet soon!
