A friend of mine puts a couple of spoonfuls of pear or apple in the vegies to get her baby to eat them if he gets a bit fussy on it, then adds less and less until its just veg again. You could try that. I also remember that Leah would eat best at breakfast so I would give her vegies then so I knew she had some vegies during the day.

My Keira used to be the fussiest eater. I could never get any vegies or meat into her. I discoverd one day that If I slowley mixed it in with apple as I was feeding her she used to eat it, and by the end of the meal was quite happy just eating straight vegies. I know it cant have been the best thing to do and was a bit of a pain as she never grew out of it untill she was eating finger foods.
She never liked anything lumpy and went from finely pureed to eating things whole which she could hold. She is fine with chunky things now though.
Ever since she turned 2 she's been the best eater ever, and will eat anything and everything - thank goodness. But I understand how fustrating it can be early on trying to get iron into them.]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:44:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18738&PID=428503&title=fuzzy-eater#428503 <![CDATA[Fuzzy Eater? : No way! are you giving her baby...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18738&PID=428444&title=fuzzy-eater#428444 Author: MyBelly

No way! are you giving her baby cereal as well? that has a lot of iron in it,
if you offer her veges and she doesnt want them and you tell her there is nothing else, all you are going to end up with is a hungry grumpy cryijavascript:AddMessageCode('CENTER','Enter text you want Centred', '')
Centreng child, i honestly wouldnt worry about that.
Eden has always hated (with a passion) carrots, always have, so i have stopped offering them. ill try them later with her.

What i would do is, hold off on the veges for a couple of days, just give her fruits, or cereal, and then try her in a couple of days back on veges.
or you could try giving a bit of fruit first, an letting her polish off a bit of that, then slip in some veges without her realizing! maybe that would work??

Good luck tho hun, and you are not setting yourself up for a "fussy eater"]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 11:49:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18738&PID=428444&title=fuzzy-eater#428444 <![CDATA[Fuzzy Eater? : My little girl is 7 months old...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18738&PID=428399&title=fuzzy-eater#428399 Author: Alanismum

My little girl is 7 months old and on solids since around 5 months. She wasn't so keen on solids first but now it's getting much better.
In the first few weeks she loved everything with vegies, especially pumpkin. She didn't like any fruit at all and made a face like I was giving her lemons.
This has completely changed now. She loves her fruit and hardly eats any vegies and meat. So I am worried about her iron intake. I am still offering her vegies and meat for lunch and dinner but recently have given her fruit afterwards which she usually polishes off.
Yesterday in my SPACE group we had a nutricionist talking about solids. So I asked if this was a phase and my baby going back onto vegies soon, and she answered that I am setting myself up for a fuzzy eater. I should give her vegies and if she doesn't eat, than there is nothing else.
