I've actually decided to make a conscious effort to eat MORE variety of fruits for my own health and nutrients and because I know I enjoy them! anonysquire on "Do you avoid eating certain foods so you can save them for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-avoid-eating-certain-foods-so-you-can-save-them-for-your-lo/page/2#post-1589173 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 12:20:37 +0000 anonysquire 1589173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Asian pears for everyone!!! anonysquire on "Do you avoid eating certain foods so you can save them for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-avoid-eating-certain-foods-so-you-can-save-them-for-your-lo/page/2#post-1589172 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 12:20:26 +0000 anonysquire 1589172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @autumnlove: Hahaha I will bring you some when I go to Cali in September :) autumnlove on "Do you avoid eating certain foods so you can save them for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-avoid-eating-certain-foods-so-you-can-save-them-for-your-lo/page/2#post-1589168 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 12:19:37 +0000 autumnlove 1589168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @anonysquire: me too! :-p anonysquire on "Do you avoid eating certain foods so you can save them for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-avoid-eating-certain-foods-so-you-can-save-them-for-your-lo/page/2#post-1589162 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 12:18:23 +0000 anonysquire 1589162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @sunny: I'll send you some too. 60 trees but only eat 1 or 2 a year haha. sunny on "Do you avoid eating certain foods so you can save them for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-avoid-eating-certain-foods-so-you-can-save-them-for-your-lo/page/2#post-1588928 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 11:25:36 +0000 sunny 1588928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @anonysquire: Ah jealous!

Why shouldn't we be able to enjoy it too? Besides, he's not a fan of fruit so it would probably go bad before he'd eat it. tororojo on "Do you avoid eating certain foods so you can save them for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-avoid-eating-certain-foods-so-you-can-save-them-for-your-lo#post-1588721 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 10:37:10 +0000 tororojo 1588721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I usually save the expensive fruit (berries, especially) for DD. 2PeasinaPod on "Do you avoid eating certain foods so you can save them for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-avoid-eating-certain-foods-so-you-can-save-them-for-your-lo#post-1588640 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 10:13:12 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1588640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I do in order to avoid having to go to the store again! I absolutely hate grocery shopping, and LO goes through fruit so quickly that I can't keep enough in the house. So I'll definitely give up my portion so that he can have it! cascademom on "Do you avoid eating certain foods so you can save them for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-avoid-eating-certain-foods-so-you-can-save-them-for-your-lo#post-1588605 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 10:06:38 +0000 cascademom 1588605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope, all fruit is fair game in our house. I'd rather spend more money on fruit and veggies than packaged goods for all of us in the house.

Well all eat what we feel like eating. I wouldn't tell DH he can't have something healthy cause DS would want it. We have lots of healthy options. DS can learn to live without until we buy more.

DH and I need good healthy stuff just as much as she does. But maybe we live in a really cheap area for produce. That said, I don't think I've had a pizza crust in the last couple months, since she loves to gnaw on them (and then throw them on the ground). If she surprisingly likes something I'm eating, I'm usually quick to hand over as much as she'll eat, but going forward know to buy more so we can all eat together. dolphin on "Do you avoid eating certain foods so you can save them for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-avoid-eating-certain-foods-so-you-can-save-them-for-your-lo#post-1587647 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 21:19:08 +0000 dolphin 1587647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yep, DD gets dibs on all the fruits.

So I hardly touch it. autumn865 on "Do you avoid eating certain foods so you can save them for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-avoid-eating-certain-foods-so-you-can-save-them-for-your-lo#post-1587179 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 18:18:53 +0000 autumn865 1587179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes! I love fruit but as you said its expensive so I hold back from DD's favorites. I will also save food as leftovers specifically for her dinner the next day (we eat after she goes to bed). chopsuey on "Do you avoid eating certain foods so you can save them for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-avoid-eating-certain-foods-so-you-can-save-them-for-your-lo#post-1587070 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 17:24:43 +0000 chopsuey 1587070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't eat many strawberries or blackberries because both of my kids LOVE them.

Mushrooms, cauliflower, baked sweet potatoes, and grapes. She used to love blueberries and they were like gold, we'd never eat them unless she force fed us :silly: pinkcupcake on "Do you avoid eating certain foods so you can save them for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-avoid-eating-certain-foods-so-you-can-save-them-for-your-lo#post-1586942 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 16:11:34 +0000 pinkcupcake 1586942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope, we get our fruit from Costco so there's always plenty to go around :) Raindrop on "Do you avoid eating certain foods so you can save them for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-avoid-eating-certain-foods-so-you-can-save-them-for-your-lo#post-1586933 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 16:08:41 +0000 Raindrop 1586933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @swurlygurl: LOL been there.

I made chicken enchiladas the other night and she unexpectedly LOVED them. So I gave her everything off my plate. If she will eat it, I am giving it to her. We used to eat a lot of fruit but I find that I save it for her now. @Raindrop: we have done the exact same thing! Haha! swurlygurl on "Do you avoid eating certain foods so you can save them for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-avoid-eating-certain-foods-so-you-can-save-them-for-your-lo#post-1586777 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 15:09:03 +0000 swurlygurl 1586777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Raindrop: Hah, same for us! For a while I wasn't giving L any grains so she got ALL our pizza toppings. Bread and cheese for me and DH! :( L gets all the berries if I buy any, but I keep the strawberry tops for my smoothies (exciting, I know). I purposefully do not give her any mango because I (selfishly) don't want to have to share that with her. That's my ONE treat!

We probably spend $25 a week alone on them! They are far and away both of my kids favorite food and we go through them so quickly. I definitely give my husband dirty looks if he ever eats them! We also buy bananas, apples, oranges and strawberries but the grown ups are allowed to eat those freely :wink:
