Hanna Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Yes Tracy is right, offer more veggies than fruits and she provided an excellent link for you to read. Gizmo certainly has you wrapped around his little beak doesn't he but then we are all suckers for them:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Its nice to indulge a little but like Tracy said you don't want to be at their beck and call all the time, you rule the roost so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapala Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 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! Reta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
