Paige doesnt like fruits or veggies that much....What do I do?

She will eat cereal with no problem. I have gone through sweet potatos and squash. She didnt like them as much as she likes the cereal Dont know if its because of the different textures. Anyway, how do i get her to eat more fruits and veggies. My next veggies are carrots. I havent tried because im wasting so much jarred food because she hardly eats it.

Should i just stick to cereal until she is ready for the others?

Its hard to feed her with a spoon also because if she is one bit cranky she will fussy and not open her mouth. Ugghhh

Jenny I was buying the Gerber stage 1 containers. When we first started I would put a few baby spoonfuls into a bowl. I would cover the rest and refrigerate (no waste that way - you can do the same with the jars.) Then I would put both a little cereal and a fruit or veggie on the spoon. She liked them together but not mixed for some reason.


That seemed to work. I've read that you shouldn't assume a baby doesn't like something until you've tried it 13 times! I think it even says something about that on the back of the cereal boxes (Gerber.)

First, she's still very young, I wouldn't worry that's she's picky.
You could also mix the fruits/veggies in with her cereal, I did that for a while, DD loved it.
Keep trying, her taste buds aren't truly formed yet...
