The thing is, I don't think he is a super taster. He dislikes bland foods and prefers stronger flavors. It seems all about texture and just the newness to him. He keeps saying "is it soft" and "can we do it really really slowly" when asked to try new things. Guessing more sensory with him (he also hates long noises, getting his hair washed/water in his eyes and having his hair cut - cause he hates the hair falling on him).

Hi ladies.
I am so sorry to hijack this thread but I've read the first few pages and found them SO helpful!
Wondering if any of you have a chance could you read my thread? http://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=241627.msg2568816#msg2568816
I'm trying to do what mashi suggested on the first page ;) x

How have things been lately, Karen?  Your last post sounds so much like Aaron!!  He still gags on things with a certain texture.

Hi Sara! Sorry I've been MIA - things have just been so busy lately. Things are about the same. Though last night he did try two bites of a Brazilian coconut chicken. He gagged a bit but ate the two tiny bites. Still no fresh fruits and still won't try the veggie pancakes though (which we are having again Friday) but baby steps!

He did finally try the veggie pancakes this past Friday! At most of a small silver-dollar sized one! Wouldn't try the fish burgers this Tuesday night though. Hoping small successes continue...

Thanks guys! Yes, he must have refused them 10-15 times before this. I only gave him one piece of turkey bacon at first (instead of his usual two) and told him he couldn't have the other piece unless he tried a pancake. He was hungry and finally did! After one of his favorites last night (whole wheat pasta with garlic/cauliflower/anchovy/tomato sauce) tonight is back to one he doesn't love. Well he DOES love the homemade oven sweet potato fries but not the lemon chicken or the roasted brussel sprouts. Hoping for 2-3 tiny bites of chicken even.

Total no go last night. I put maybe 4 tiny pieces of lemon chicken on his plate, 5 small sweet potato fries (he usually has 10-12) and two brussel sprouts (well really one roasted one cut in half). He inhaled the fries and refused to try anything else, not even for more fries. He went to bed hungry, woke early (6:10 instead of about 7) and told me his belly hurt. I explained that it was because he hadn't eaten dinner and was hungry.

More progress here! Tuesday night I made a crockpot Mongolian beef. He tried two teensy bites of it and didn't gag! He still chose not to eat more of it but he did try! Same with last night - it was pasta night (his favorite) with LOTS of chopped up veggies. He inhaled it but also tried the GF/DF cornbread I made. Again only two TINY bites but he did it. May it continue and grow!

What does a crockpot Mongolian beef look like?  I might try that. 

I hope these boys turn themselves around Karen.  It's too stressful!  Yay for Matty and trying new things!!!

FWIW Finn is actually open to trying almost everything and he's allowed to spit it out if he doesn't like it.  But he never likes anything and simply won't eat more of it.  That's the annoying part lol  Make a big meal for two bites that get spit out on the plate *sigh*

It's way yummy. I use this recipe: http://whatsfordinner-momwhatsfordinner.blogspot.com/2012/03/crockpot-mongolian-beef.html. I usually double it and freeze leftovers.

Matthew knows he can spit out stuff too but so far other than when he tried the falafel a few weeks ago he hasn't taken advantage of that - but he still only takes the two bites.... But for now, considering where we came from, I'll take it.

Of course he had no problem trying (and eating most of) the cupcake they made at school yesterday!
