Have you tried the food jars? I started off with these and then built up
from there. It could be that she just doesn't like the texture. Just keep
trying and she will eventually realise she likes it. xxx

hun i wouldn't worry too much they either like it or hate it. I'm sure that over time she'll decide she likes some and not the others.

My lo won't hardly eat anything at all! Food is a constant battle.... whenever i've gone round madz house he eats her ceral without any hesitation, leaves some out for him on purpose now! But if i buy the same for home he refuses to eat it!

I'm getting really frustrated, he's hardly eating, won't drink out of anything other than a bottle when it comes to milk and doesn't really like squash etc or plain water.... but he's no light weight he's a little heffa lump!

I'm just hoping if i keep offering he'll one day change his mind but then again i can only live in hope......

Good luck hun

how many fruits have you tried? And did she see you prepare it? Not sure what to suggest but it alot to do with textures etc at this age. Mine took a liking to Kiwi, but hated strawberries, now he eats everything except sultanas. The more you push the less they will try. Good luck

My ds has had a long battle with foods since he was born, he has only just started trying new foods and discussing things he likes and dis-likes, we have constantly offered fruit and veg to him but it has taken years for him to actually like eating them.
