WeaningHelp fussy eater!
Hiya
I am hoping that you can offer me some advice, as at the moment I am realy strugling to find food for Nicky to eat.
He is eating any jar of food I give him (as long as they either Hipp or C&G), within reason ie he hates parsnips lol!
But he totally refusing any homemade puree' I give him. I know my cooking aint that bad! He even refuses the most basic of purees I make, fruit or savory. Yet he gobbles down jared, and his yogurt and his fruit pots I give to him.........
I realy didn't want to feed him comercialy produced food, yet I dont know what else to do.
I know he liked the chix, mushroom and pasta puree I made, and he liked his steak and tomatoe puree too, but it is getting hit and miss as to what home made puree's he'll eat and I'm running out of food!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any idea's?
thanx in advance
Hi Lou! this is really common and im afraid its very hit and miss with most babies what they will eat. I used to find it so frustrating when I made my little ones a lovely meal and they turned their noses up at it. You could always try mixing a bit of home made puree with a jar and slowly phaze out the amount of jar to puree so its a familiar taste to begin with but eventually the home made food is the dominant food being offered and because it is such a gradual change your baby wont notice this happening. Crafty eh :-) jx
Hi, My daughter was the same as a baby and what ever I gave her she refused. I had to start all over again back to basics to get her to start to eat my food. I started off with squash for 3 days, then pumkin etc.... if she turned her nose to it i went back a couple of days later. Eventually she started to find her fav foods. She is now 5 and still fussy but atleast eats some food. Dont give up, just keep of trying and going back to foods and eventually he will eat it. I believe if they are hungry they will eat, so dont worry.
