No meat?

This has been a HUGE struggle for us too she eats everything under the moon but when it comes to meat she refuses
my 18 month old doesn't eat meat either
Plant-based mom here - and I agree with Shania! While my child doesn’t eat meat, my “secret” to getting him to eat just about any new veggie is to toss it in a sauce. I made a cashew-cream alfredo the other day and he ate a little of everything, even veggies he normally avoids.
Pretty much every toddler goes through a no meat phase. Keep offering it in new ways and with tons of different dips etc for them to try. They grow out of it after a bit!
Wow it makes me feel better knowing my LO isn’t the only one 😅 thanks for the suggestions ☺️
So happy I found this post! My 18 month old only eats plant based nuggets. Any other meat she will not touch but she used to. Wow! We got this mamas! All we can do is keep offering and keep trying!
@Shania definitely considered mincing, even if its smothered she will separate it and spit it out. Glad to know she isnt an odd ball though
@Liv thanks for the insight. I had no idea it was a thing.
@Jennifer right! Im glad i asked everyone
I had to smother meat in some type of sauce to get my daughter to eat it at first, especially chicken. We’ve tried it with bbq sauce, ketchup, pasta sauce, alfredo, or different marinades. She’s much more likely to eat it with extra seasoning than just plain. She also doesn’t eat it unless it’s minced super small, almost minced. Maybe you could try that?
