But she gets things like fries and cookies in moderation. Christmas week was a field day for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008863 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 12:12:55 +0000 MapleMoose 2008863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let me put it this way... The only food she doesn't like is carrots. Thankfully she likes fruits and veggies just as much as junk food so I don't feel too bad and am able to make sure she gets a nice balance. But I can tell she has a sweet tooth just like her daddy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008844 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 11:51:39 +0000 Anagram 2008844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: well she can't have cheese, but I've tried giving papa johns pizza (because it's MSPI friendly) with no cheese and she wouldn't eat it. I guess the crust was too chewy without cheese?</p> <p>When I'm feeling less nauseous I'm going to try homemade pizza again that is dairy free and see if she'll go for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008840 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 11:46:20 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2008840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: my LO hates juice. And milk. Even chocolate milk. She hates white potatoes (even french fries) but is pretty much game if I give her anything else "bad". Have you tried pizza? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008812 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 11:11:49 +0000 Andrea 2008812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 likes a lot of it now, but not DD2. I'm especially disappointed that she doesn't like one of my favorite foods, french fries. :-P Oh well, if she doesn't like junk, more power to her. It's a pain in the butt to lose weight when you're an adult if junk food has been the culprit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008804 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 10:58:49 +0000 lawbee11 2008804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She likes french fries and pizza. And she LOVES sweets just like her mama....cake, cookies, ice cream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008799 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 10:53:45 +0000 PrincessBaby 2008799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do crayons count as junk food? Because she is not afraid to munch on a crayon.</p> <p>My LO is a suuuuper picky eater. Like I do not know how she is alive and well today. Milk, maybe?</p> <p>She gets all excited about cupcakes for sure, and then will take like 2 little finicky bites and is over it. The only junk (or food) I've ever really seen her shovel in her face was her bday cake from her 2nd bday party and that was because there were like 15 other kids next to her also shoveling it down.</p> <p>One time she saw a box of chocolate milk in line at starbucks so I let her have it and she was so repulsed by it, her face scrunched up and she dropped it. Something is really wrong with her. I think chocolate milk is more delicious than wine. If calories were ever magically written out of my life, I'd drink chocolate milk all day and night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008779 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 10:26:05 +0000 dagret 2008779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L's not so in to sweets but you should have seen him rip into the cheese puffs at target yesterday... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008761 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 10:05:51 +0000 NovBaby1112 2008761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I don't consider chicken nuggets and tater tots junk food. She will eat anything, not picky at all. Def has a sweet tooth and loves chocolate, cookies, lollipops, etc. but we limit those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008758 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 10:01:02 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2008758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She loves candy, cookies, chips and salty snacks but not cake. I think it might be a textural thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008747 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 09:51:27 +0000 mrsjyw 2008747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep he'll eat it all! Everything in moderation! He's not a huge fan of fried food, but lives food in general! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008744 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 09:47:43 +0000 gilmoregirl 2008744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pretty much lived on waffles with peanut butter when I was sick...or peanut butter toast like travelgirl1 mentioned. If she'll eat any of those, that might be an option you can stomach. I use a lot of steam-in-bag veggies for my LO, which would definitely have made me barf when I was pregnant, but would let her have some veggies with the shortest cooking/prep time at least?</p> <p>I would basically lose it if I had to feed an MSPI kid while dealing with morning sickness, so you have all my sympathy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008699 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 08:31:36 +0000 travelgirl1 2008699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: LO lived off peanut butter on toast while I have morning sickness - not too offensive to prepare!</p> <p>She likes sweet junk food like cake but and she likes fries but she's not so big on the rest of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008698 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 08:30:43 +0000 illumina 2008698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crisps, cake, chocolate...she's not particularly fussy ;) But she will not touch chicken nuggets or chips! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008696 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 08:27:15 +0000 tinyperson 2008696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO won't touch juice, jam, cookies, cake, etc., but will eat ice cream (but usually only a few bites), chicken nuggets, and Mac n cheese. She doesn't touch most veggies without prodding, but ate a couple of mini dukes yesterday! Strange child :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008597 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 00:18:38 +0000 mrskc 2008597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel for you. I had really bad morning sickness and ate McD's so much during the first tri because it was the only thing that sounded good. DS ended up eating a lot of fries because of it. He wasn't so much into the chicken nuggets. </p> <p>It seems now at 2 tho, he is more into junk food. lol He got to eat some fudge around xmas and is always asking for chocolate now. We went out to dinner tonight and he had chicken strips and fries. The ketchup trick @Foodnerd81: mentioned works well for us. He looooves rotisserie chicken pieces dipped in ketchup. He's more likely to eat it tho if I pre-dip the pieces for him. </p> <p>There were these cooked meatballs we would get from Costco that he really liked... but I could not stomach the smell of them while pregnant. They made me barf. I shudder thinking back on my first trimesters with my kids. It's awful. Hang in there! Do whatcha gotta do to survive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008580 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 23:36:32 +0000 Foodnerd81 2008580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: backseat parenting is totally a thing. :). Sorry you are feeling so crappy. Remembering what I ate during my first trimester, I don't look forward to going through that with a picky toddler, but it will be worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008576 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 23:31:33 +0000 Anagram 2008576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I suggested ketchup today to DH, but I could only suggest from afar as ketchup and all red sauces make me barfy right now, and I think he thought I was like, back seat parenting (is that a thing?) and refused to try. I'm sure it's not fun to have your sick wife laying on the couch shouting "helpful" directions while you try to feed LO, haha. :silly: </p> <p>So she just ate the Lima beans (shrug). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008575 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 23:27:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 2008575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: this doesn't answer your original question but have you tried dipping the nuggets or tots in ketchup? Sometimes C will eat things she wouldn't otherwise if she sees the ketchup (just like her mom, I'm like a 4 year old). </p> <p>She's only had a few junk food things so far- pie, not a fan. Ice cream- loved. Eggnog (no alcohol!) she loved so much she didn't wan to take a breath between sips. She will tolerate chicken nuggets but prefers cheese. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008570 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 23:22:43 +0000 yellowbird 2008570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo loves every junk food imaginable. She has the biggest sweet tooth just like her dad! Every time I ask what she wants for a snack she says cookies!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008556 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 23:11:48 +0000 78h2o 2008556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She doesn't like fast food, except for french fries, but I admit she got fries a few times when I was super queasy and nothing else sounded good. She also likes chips, cake, ice cream, and some cookies. She actually told Santa she wanted ice cream for Christmas!</p> <p>Salmon is her favorite food though, and she does love broccoli and other veggies, so it's not all bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008554 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 23:09:16 +0000 anonysquire 2008554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. She's well rounded. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008550 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 23:06:49 +0000 yoursilverlining 2008550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, yes. But she also loves veggies and healthy food, so whateves. It all evens out. The one thing she does not like is chocolate :shocked: waaaaaa? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008547 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 23:02:56 +0000 Freckles 2008547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha she will learn to like it soon! LO didn't like burgers, fries or nuggets until around the 2 year mark.</p> <p>She dislikes boxed Mac and cheese and juice. But she will happily eat anything else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008545 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 23:00:12 +0000 autumnlove 2008545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, but they won't touch McDonald's chicken nuggets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008542 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 22:55:05 +0000 blackbird 2008542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: oh sickkkkk sick sick. Well the cookie thing only started a month ago at 20 months, so....there's time, heh. I think all the repeat exposure plus wanting what all the adults were having (and not sharing) is what did it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008535 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 22:49:37 +0000 Anagram 2008535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: my weirdo LO doesn't like cookies. At least not yet. I assume she will learn to love them, since she's only 18 months. But so far, no dice. And she doesn't like juice! We don't really keep it on the house but when she was sick a coupla weeks back and not eating, the doctor said to try juice so we ran out and bought LO apple juice and she would not drink it. Took 1 sip and then screamed every time we tried to give it. </p> <p>Whyyyy. </p> <p>And then at my in laws house, she was gobbling up the most awful (to my morning sickness eyes) mixture of boiled mashed broccoli, green beans, and lentils--no salt or flavor added, all mushed together. :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008533 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 22:46:34 +0000 erwoo 2008533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest will eat almost all junk food. My youngest doesn't eat sweets much even if he says he wants ice cream. He'll take a bite or two and stop eating it. I guess I should enjoy it while it lasts. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008531 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 22:44:31 +0000 blackbird 2008531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've loosened up now that she's older (esp after Christmas lol)...she likes cookies and chocolate candies but not cake. She likes ranch dressing and she eats a few fries but not crazy. She's also gotten to have juice and sugary drinks since I use it to mask my GI meds while pregnant and she loves lemonade and tang. She's been eating well lately so no biggie. I think cookies are her favorite. Hell, who doesn't like cookies?</p> <p>E wouldn't eat tater tots for me either!!! We definitely went with some quicky processed meals when I was sick....she warmed up to some of them. And I feel ok now so I haven't made them since and she's none the wiser </p> <p>Oh turkey hot dogs and Mac and cheese! Always easy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-any-junk-foods#post-2008526 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 22:39:47 +0000 Anagram 2008526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: I'm actually jealous. I seriously tried yesterday to give her nuggets (no dice) and today tater tots (no) so then I have to leave the room while DH heats up a real (more stinky) food and feeds her.</p> <p>Tomorrow I'm going to try to give her oatmeal for dinner and see if she'll take that. I can only handle non smelly foods right now. </p>
