I feel a little better. @Periwinkle: we spoon feed the hummus sometimes too. Whatever works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-entire-food-groups-heshe-loves-or-hates#post-1845313 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 12:26:09 +0000 Periwinkle 1845313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loves: Fruit, most vegetables, yogurt, eggs, waffles, cheese, beans, HUMMUS (seriously, this child could live on hummus if we let him). This sounds gross, but we actually feed him hummus by the spoonful. We used to put it on toast, pieces of cucumber, etc. and he would lick the hummus off and discard the vehicle :)</p> <p>Hates: Meat. I have heard that most babies and toddlers lean toward vegetarian, though, at least in the beginning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-entire-food-groups-heshe-loves-or-hates#post-1845156 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 11:16:56 +0000 NovBaby1112 1845156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M loves all fruit, veggies, dairy (esp milk!!) and any kind of carb. and let's be real- any kind of junk food/candy she can get her hands on. she has a sweet tooth like me</p> <p>She hates pretty much all meat...glad to see she's not the only one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-entire-food-groups-heshe-loves-or-hates#post-1845050 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:34:07 +0000 .twist. 1845050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: aaah. That makes sense. I didn't even think about that. :( I don't know much about estrogen issues in soy products! I should really read up on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-entire-food-groups-heshe-loves-or-hates#post-1845048 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:33:40 +0000 Boheme 1845048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C will NOT eat meat. Hates it. He also hates pasta. </p> <p>He will tuck away fruit, yogurt, and most veggies for days though. His favorite food is cilantro lime brown rice...little weirdo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-entire-food-groups-heshe-loves-or-hates#post-1845046 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:32:29 +0000 Foodnerd81 1845046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I usually dip a piece of cracker in the hummus, or a quartered or halved grape tomato, or cubed pepper. Some days that works to get her to eat the cracker or tomato or whatever, some days she licks te hummus off and tosses the dipper. Those days I just feed it with a spoon (which she then takes from me and often drops on the floor). Just a heads up she had a skin reaction from one brand (sabra) but not other brands. Ped wasn't worried since it was just red splotchy skin, but it happened to my friends son too so thought I'd mention it so you don't freak out if it happens to E. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-entire-food-groups-heshe-loves-or-hates#post-1845038 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:29:24 +0000 blackbird 1845038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist, I haven't but I don't like soy products in general (estrogen issues), so I don't keep them around too much. She's in an in home daycare for now so nut butters aren't an issue! Not sure what I'll do when i can't even put a PB&amp;J in her lunch, though!!! :( </p> <p>Nothing is better than almond butter, though. NOTHING!!!!!</p> <p>@cherrybee, HAHA, she knows it's food. What if you stick it on a veggie, will she suck it off? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-entire-food-groups-heshe-loves-or-hates#post-1845020 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:22:12 +0000 Cherrybee 1845020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I tried the dollop-on-the-tray that you suggested and E played with it but didn't put her hands near her mouth! It's weird because she eats a ton of paint when we do painting!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-entire-food-groups-heshe-loves-or-hates#post-1845013 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:18:38 +0000 .twist. 1845013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Have you ever tried wow butter? It's made from soy and you can (eventually) take it to daycare/school! There are even little stickers that it is nut free. It's actually pretty tasty and I would say a great replacement for peanut butter/other nut butters!</p> <p>ETA: Sorry for the randomness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-entire-food-groups-heshe-loves-or-hates#post-1845008 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:17:59 +0000 LuLu Mom 1845008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>she LOVES dairy and fruits, she struggle with veggies, she usually feeds them to the dog when she thinks we aren't looking. I try hiding them and mixing them in but she figures it out. She will do carrots if they are slivers but not sticks? And potatoes and corn but they are so starchy, she's like her daddy and doesn't eat the good stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-entire-food-groups-heshe-loves-or-hates#post-1845003 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:16:21 +0000 blackbird 1845003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>loves carbs and diary products.

You are too funny. ;) We serve hummus on toast and then cut it up into squares or sticks. It's like baby crack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-entire-food-groups-heshe-loves-or-hates#post-1844993 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:10:58 +0000 Ocean girl 1844993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD loves dairy, especially cheese. She also loves red meat and fish (she couldn't care less about chicken).<br /> I wouldn't say she hates any food in particular, but she isn't super fussy about carbs unless they're goldfish crackers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-entire-food-groups-heshe-loves-or-hates#post-1844991 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:09:48 +0000 BeachMama 1844991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loves carbs.</p> <p>Hates veggies.</p> <p>@cherrybee: My LO loves hummus too. I give her a dollop with crackers or carrot sticks, but really she would be happy eating it straight up with a spoon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-entire-food-groups-heshe-loves-or-hates#post-1844976 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 09:57:24 +0000 Cherrybee 1844976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hates: All food. </p> <p>Loves: A cup of tea. Sigh. </p> <p>@Foodnerd81: How do you serve hummus? Hummus is my all time favourite food! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-entire-food-groups-heshe-loves-or-hates#post-1844975 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 09:57:11 +0000 lawbee11 1844975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has never met a carb she doesn't like. She doesn't eat a lot of meat. I think there's an evolutionary component to both of these. </p> <p>She loves most fruits and veggies as long as they're in pureed form, but we've struggled with self-feeding fruits and veggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-entire-food-groups-heshe-loves-or-hates#post-1844974 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 09:55:59 +0000 autumnlove 1844974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meat, veggies, milk and pasta are hit or miss! She loves fruit, bread and cheese! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-entire-food-groups-heshe-loves-or-hates#post-1844973 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 09:54:30 +0000 .twist. 1844973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! </p> <p>Loves ALL fruit. </p> <p>Hates ALL meats.</p> <p>He's actually been getting back into eating meat every once in a while, but it's really hit or miss. One day I can feed him pieces of a burger and he will devour it, and the next day I will try the same thing and he will toss it all on the floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-entire-food-groups-heshe-loves-or-hates#post-1844967 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 09:52:24 +0000 Foodnerd81 1844967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like this is a common thing, but that the actual food groups vary from kid to kid. </p> <p>C loves fruit and dairy-- she could eat cheese and berries for every meal. Carbs are hit or miss, which I'm fine with, and vegetables are so-so-- she loves frozen mixed veg or frozen peas, so I can always get something in her, but it isn't as varied as I would prefer. </p> <p>But meats she could not care less about. She will sometimes eat chicken sausage or meatballs, but generally she isn't a fan. Luckily she loves hummus so I get some protein in that way. </p> <p>What about your LO(s)? </p>
