DD does a good job of mashing soft foods and swallowing. She will eat all types of pureed veggies. However, when I cook them and just give her small chunks, she balks. She will definitely put them in her mouth and taste them, but as soon as she mashes them against the roof of her mouth- she does a slight gag and then spits them out. (Maybe she should be chewing them with her gums instead???) I keep trying white potatoes, sweet potatoes, shredded carrots, squash (all types), and can't even remember what else. I even put gravy on the white potatoes- they are still a no go. Even fruit juices on the others. She does love fruit and will eat tons of that.
But I don't know how to get her to eat the small bits of veggies that she will eat pureed... I have tried frying, baking, and boiling... I have foregone the pureed stuff for a couple months now, but that still hasn't gotten her interested in some of the veggies that used to be her favorite! Please give me any suggestions that you have...
