So DD is about to be 1. She is still BF and we JUST went to 3 X per day (morning & night with one mid-day). She doesn't like cow's milk, so to substitute the recently dropped am BF, I mixed some whole milk with drinkable yogurt. She likes it OK.
Here is the issue - she just isn't a good eater. At 6 months when I started giving her food, she hated it. It was only when she started finger foods (at 7.5 months) that she started to really eat. Her grip wasn't good, but we did some of the BLW and she got what she could get in. At that point, she refused the spoon and has just started recently to let me feed her with a spoon again. Though tonight, she did it by herself and chuckled the entire time and ate SO MUCH shells & cheese!
So like I said, not a good eater - currently won't eat ANY veggies and never really has. Won't eat fruit either. Will only *maybe* eat a few bites of banana before tossing it on the floor. She likes any bread, cheese, yogurt, eggs, shells & cheese. Won't eat meat either. This has been going on for a month or longer, but has never really liked fruits or veggies. Am I just supposed to let her get on with just bread & cheese?
I try every day to give her fruit & veggies. I give them to her with butter, with flavor, frozen, just plain. She won't have them. I try to sneak them into things, but she has an excellent detector for the slightest inconsistency in texture. She sucks on stuff sometimes, but then spits it out. Its driving me CRAZY!!!!
Help!
