She was pickier when she was younger. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1512251 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:27:25 +0000 Kimberlybee 1512251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: good job to your baby girl! I so want a foodie (like me). But she is showing major signs of being a picky eater (like her dad). Food &amp; solids surprising has been my toughest new mom vent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1512213 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:15:49 +0000 Meltini 1512213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is one of my parenting goals. Little man is only 6 months old right now but I am definitely hoping he takes after me in the eating department and not his dad. We are both adventurous but DH finds a lot less paletable while I love a wide variety of things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1512189 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:11:24 +0000 BoogieBea 1512189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is super picky but we make them try all sorts of different cuisines anyway. It's funny but they can taste the difference if the quality is not good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1512177 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:08:25 +0000 JerricaBenton 1512177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try! LO is still little so i worry about sodium content in restaurant food but I cook pretty adventurously and she eats everything I make! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511597 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:38:32 +0000 Smurfette 1511597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are trying too but so far she is pretty picky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511595 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:38:22 +0000 regberadaisy 1511595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: yea, I don't know if it's us or just luck that -so far- she's not picky! But I will say when I was young I was only exposed to home cooked Chinese food! My exposure of American food was what I saw on TV and ball park franks (yuck!). And also amazing dominican food my upstairs tenant made me almost every night! hehe</p> <p>DH didn't even have crappy chinese food till he was 16! Before that it was all american or italian. So all hope is not lost! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511590 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:36:31 +0000 loveisstrange 1511590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess? I make her try things and she's generally game for whatever. I was a VERY picky, neurotic eater until I was in college. Id rather her not be that way.</p> <p>She eats stuff I don't even like. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511586 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:34:59 +0000 winniebee 1511586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He tries everything and even if he spits it out he tries it. He likes some interesting things (all fish, all beans, spicy stuff) and hates some kid things (chicken tenders). We love food and try to introduce him to everything. He doesn't like closed food that much (dumplings, closed sandwiches). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511579 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:32:36 +0000 junebugmama 1511579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I wonder if that will happen here. With J2 I ate tons of spicy stuff, but this pregnancy I have such horrific heartburn all day long, I'm not eating it. I wonder if it means J3 won't want it…. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511569 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:29:48 +0000 looch 1511569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, my husband is a major foodie and he wasn't raised with exposure to much cuisine, so I think as long as everyone's having fun with it, it's totally cool.</p> <p>I have a picky eater, and it's super frustrating. I feel like I got the baby annoyance trifecta of picky eater, poor sleeper and stubborn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511567 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:27:16 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1511567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Having a picky eater is one of my biggest fears (aside from medical issues and stuff). A couple of my nieces/nephews are and it is so frustrating for their parents and I know it would drive me crazy. I would rather have a baby that doesn't sleep well, or who is super shy before a picky eater! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511555 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:24:25 +0000 bunnylove08 1511555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD loves everything she was eating spicy foods when she was 5 months old. I ate super spicy foods when I was pregnant with her. She has not turned her nose up to anything and tries everything. She had some sashimi recently and loved it.</p> <p>she does dislike chicken nuggets/chicken fingers but will eat it if we make her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511550 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:23:11 +0000 Dandelion 1511550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep...we have a "try everything on your plate" rule...even if he's tried it before. I make it a point to get excited about food of all kinds, so I think it rubs off on him. I'm really hoping LO will be just as easy to get to that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511543 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:20:57 +0000 rachiecakes 1511543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J loves spicy!<br /> but he's super picky - and not in the pizza, pasta, juice/toddler way. he loves Indian food, but hates mac and cheese. he loves edamame but hates broccoli and carrots, hates tomato sauce but loves pesto.<br /> My mom always thinks she's going to cook him this amazing meal, like a veggie lasagna and he totally turns up his nose.<br /> we keep trying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511538 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:18:50 +0000 Freckles 1511538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GrapeCrush: @locavore_mama: LO can eat Indian food if it isn't spicy. Last weekend she had naan and some sort of fried fish at a birthday party.</p> <p>@Bookish: LO and i have sushi dinner dates. She loooves unagi, tempura, and udon soup. Unfortunately, she eats a lot so dinner for 2 really is dinner for 2!</p> <p>LO doesn't like spicy food either, so it's killing the Korean in me. :P But she loves eating out - especially for dim sum, japanese or italian food. She surprised me last weekend by eating some lox from our bagel! Despite some picky tendencies, she is open to eating different types of foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511533 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:16:40 +0000 heartonastring 1511533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! DH and I are super into food so we're hoping DD will enjoy being adventurous too.</p> <p>So far, she eats absolutely everything with great relish. I hope it continues but I'm prepared for some setbacks once we get into toddlerhood. </p> <p>She's 11 months and loves curries, spicy kimchi, Thai food, fish, Nepalese, Mexican etc. you name it, she LOVES it. I hope it keeps going this way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511531 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:16:10 +0000 hilsy85 1511531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are trying...but he seems to be getting pickier lately unfortunately :( He will usually try at least a bite of anything, it's just hard to get him to take more than that sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511521 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:11:41 +0000 GrapeCrush 1511521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: haha it was a couple frozen ones from Trader Joe's. It was good, I just couldn't eat a lot. Haha I think G had more than me...so sad :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511507 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:09:18 +0000 cascademom 1511507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Nice! I think LO eats better lunches than I do since it's provided. When we picked him up to go to my parents' house, he was finishing up a pita bread pizza. I was seriously jealous. Usually in the morning, we go through his sleep and eating patterns so they're aware if sleep could be a problem or if he's hungry. She seemed surprised that he ate fish and liked it. He's had tilipia, tuna fish, shrimp, and salmon a bunch of times already. Part of it could be that I like fish, so we eat a lot of it at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511486 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:04:26 +0000 snowjewelz 1511486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely want to raise a foodie! I want to do it exactly like my mom did; during meal time, we either eat what we have or no food at all! My mom loves spicy food &amp; we grew up having to eat it and eventually love it too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511473 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:01:33 +0000 regberadaisy 1511473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GrapeCrush: you had Indian??! ;)</p> <p>@cascademom: LOL we're the only parents that bring her lunch in. Sometimes they just put question marks on her sheet because they don't know what it is. When it's homemade Chinese stuff I don't blame them but some other stuff.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511469 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:00:49 +0000 regberadaisy 1511469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: when she's older you need to take her on a mommy date! Lunch specials at sushi restaurants are pretty good! :D</p> <p>LO lurves seafood! Man can she take down shrimps and mussels.</p> <p>She loves loves wontons and fish balls my mom makes. Those are always a surefire even when she's really sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511462 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 09:59:57 +0000 GrapeCrush 1511462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We try to get DS to try everything. He is pocky about what fruits he'll even entertain. He loves Mexican. One of his favorites is teriyaki or hibachi from the sushi places. And miso soup. He ate Indian the other day and had no problems with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511458 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 09:59:20 +0000 cascademom 1511458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO loves to eat and everything. Last night, he had salmon. His daycare lady called him "fancy" this morning for it. He loves, loves quiche. I think I make it once a week since he's taking a liking to it. He did corned beef and sauerkraut last weekend. He eats everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511448 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 09:56:30 +0000 Bookish 1511448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I know, it's soo expensive! DH absolutely hates sushi, so I'm slowly working up to giving LO some. I'd hate to waste a meal on her lol! We've done Mexican, Italian, Seafood (cooked) so we're getting there!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breeding-a-little-foodie#post-1511443 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 09:54:02 +0000 regberadaisy 1511443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: haha it's funny because DH &amp; I love spicy food. But when I was pregnant with her I could NOT eat spicy food in any capacity. I couldn't even take Frank's red hot; it was sad. Now with this pregnancy the spicier the better!</p> <p>@Bookish: haha LO hasn't had sushi yet! Mainly because we very rarely order sushi because it gets really expensive to fill DH &amp; I on sushi so we usually order it on special occasions after she goes to bed for date night. :P </p>
