Baby doesn’t like savoury

Heyy so my 7 month old LOVES fruit and yogurt he can’t get enough, but the only savoury he will eat is puréed broccoli and cauliflower which he loves, hates everything else. He’s such a sweet tooth, I keep trying different types of savoury and he just spits it out. Any tips?

At what point during the weaning process did you introduce fruit?

Avatar

at the start, started with a mix of fruit and vegetables puréed together, I do both blw and spoon, so he won’t eat any veg unless it’s mixed with fruit or it’s puréed broccoli and cauliflower

I could have wrote this myself! I’ve stopped giving veg puréed now and instead giving it/ making it into finger foods. Adding abit of cheese also goes down a treat x

it’s so stressful isn’t it, my first wasn’t picky at all and I did the same thing with him😩 which veg has most successful for you so far?x

Avatar

it is! His favourites are definitely sweet potatoes and carrots. I made some like parsnip “chips” today and they actually went down really well! How about yours? X

Avatar

oooh sweet potatoes that’s a good one I’ll try that! He hates carrots 😩 cauliflower is his favourite! How do you give him the cheese? I’m scared 🤣x

I gave my son homemade pizza rolls for dinner and that's how he got the cheese 🤷‍♀️

Keep introducing, it can take up to 8 or 10 times (can’t remember exactly) for your baby to accept a new taste and textures xx

My baby was the same, I’ve started by introducing sweet veggies such as butternut or parsnip xx

I’ll message you! X

I make sweet potato and butternut squash puree every week and it’s handy for making other things quite quickly but packing lots of secret veg in! For example pasta spirals (I lightly blend these so they’re more manageable for my baby) and add the puree plus a bit of cheese and it’s like Mac and cheese. Or today I boiled some rice with broccoli peas and a stock cube thrown in and again lightly blended this with the butternut puree and he loved it. Try adding more flavours too so cumin, turmeric or garlic to rice/veg based things, cheese to pasta/potato or something like cinnamon and a little butter to sweet potato is a good one too☺️
Also toast! My baby loves to suck a bit of toast and cream cheese or avocado or egg mayo!😂xx

This is why it’s always advised to start with vegetables and only introduce fruit later. It sounds like you may need to “wean” her off the sweetness. Keep making what you are, but adding less and less fruit to it each time. It can also take 10+ times for babies to start liking a food. Keep offering it to her, alongside a safe food.

I second this. I would cut out sweet food for a while. Doesn’t matter if he eats the other food as long as he’s consistently getting used to the non sweet tastes. Maybe try some new ones first then the ones he didn’t like before. I’d also maybe do more baby led than purées so he can explore on his own

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide
