Eating

Hey mumma’s, need some advice my LO seems to not want to eat proper fruit she eats vegetables and quite enjoys them but from a young age she has always had purée fruit in a pouch which she loves and she will eat plenty of however any finger food style fruit she’s not so keen on I’m just wondering how or what I should do to help her she’s 18 months old and eats a very good normal diet but it’s something that I am getting a little bit worried about as she just chews it up & spits it out, has anyone had anything like this at all? TIA x

If she eats them pureed I'd just leave it. She's still eating them.. could be a texture thing too.. my daughter chews food and spits it out too when she doesn't like the texture.

You can also offer a few pieces of fruit cut up WITH her preferred way of eating fruit.. that way she's still getting fruit, but you're being consistent in offering it in different ways.

Try taking along some fruit while you long walk in the stroller. Sometimes, kids will try foods they might not otherwise eat if they are strapped in without a lot else to do or other food options close by. If they ask for a pouch, you can honestly say, "This is what we have to eat right now. You can eat it or you can wait until we get home. " They also have reusable pouches if you'd like to make your own blends at home. You can add different foods and control the consistency so you can make them a little chunkier than they come at the store.

My 2 & a half year old only used to eat bananas & melon but now won't eat any fruit. He eats vegetables, though, which is more important, so the fact that your little girl eats vegetables is a good thing. I wouldn't worry too much about her not eating fruit. X
