We don't keep them in the house but MIL and FIL feed them to LO. I really hope she doesn't start to really like them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2038478 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 00:08:25 +0000 hummusgirl 2038478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give him some things that I don't love myself, like yogurt. I draw the line at cilantro, though. That devil weed will never enter my house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2038175 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 18:58:00 +0000 78h2o 2038175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I am pressed for time, I sometimes feed her Gerber entrees or a Chef Boyardee cup of spaghettios...things I would not eat myself. Usually though, she eats what I make for the whole family to eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2038166 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 18:47:41 +0000 CRGmama 2038166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I'm a picky eater and although I've made strides in what I will eat, there's still plenty I don't care for. I hope DS is more like my husband and will eat anything. I definitely hope exposing him to lots of different things now will create a more diverse palate for him. Being a picky eater is not fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2038155 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 18:35:46 +0000 MamaCate 2038155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Eggs-- I just don't like the taste, texture, smell, etc. But DH likes them so LO has them dir breakfast about once a week. This morning the smell was pretty aversive but I tried not to say anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2038084 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 17:22:27 +0000 coopsmama 2038084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I miss sour cream!! There is a non dairy alternative but it's just not the same at all. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2038043 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 16:41:28 +0000 swurlygurl 2038043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Sooo... a pina colada is totally your favorite drink?! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2038040 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 16:38:56 +0000 sarac 2038040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I'm an adult picky eater, and I really wanted her not to be. And she isn't, lucky for me. So daily I cook food for her and my husband that I don't eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2038038 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 16:37:52 +0000 Torchwood 2038038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is something I kind of worry about. I have Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, so there are a LOT of things I can't eat. Thankfully DH eats pretty much everything (seriously, it's bizarre to me), but I still worry I'll be a bad influence on LO. And there are some things I can't stand the smell of to the point that I won't be able to make them at all. It's going to take a lot of conscious effort to be sure and expose LO to lots of different foods at home. At least when we go out DH usually orders a wide variety of things, so he can let LO try whatever then. DH was eating oysters before he was in kindergarten, and I'd really like LO to be like that, not like me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2038021 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 16:26:25 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2038021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: I couldn't live without sour cream! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2038019 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 16:26:05 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2038019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I feed them kid food like macaroni and I don't eat that stuff myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2037986 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 16:11:26 +0000 coopsmama 2037986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I can't have dairy products (yogurt, cheese, milk, sour cream...) but my LO eats those things all the time. I hate berries but I buy them for him. Hmmmm...now that I think about it I guess that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2037978 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 16:05:49 +0000 .twist. 2037978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate pinapple and coconut (shhhh, I know...) but I feed them both to L because I think it's important to expose him to everything. Just because I don't particularly like it, doesn't mean he will grow up feeling the same and personally I don't really want him to feel like he must like/dislike everything I like/dislike. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2037911 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 15:28:53 +0000 fancyfunction 2037911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I'm also picky and M will eat things I don't like yogurt, cheese, eggs and oatmeal. I hope she stays a more well-rounded eater than I am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2037889 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 15:19:10 +0000 jhd 2037889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat almost everything so I can't think of much that he would want to eat that I won't. But DH and I are picky about meat so we don't eat it everyday. If Lo likes something in particular I will cook meat more often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2037833 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 14:51:51 +0000 Caly 2037833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I hate mushrooms, yogurt &amp; seafood but make a point of serving them so they can decide for themselves. The other night I gave them both mushrooms...one happily ate them, the other looked horrified &amp; spit it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2037744 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 14:14:43 +0000 catomd00 2037744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, of course I will offer her foods I don't like, but I would never force her to eat anything she didn't like (especially if it was something I myself didn't like either!) I think it's really important to offer children a variety of choices from early on and since we have done BLW, we (meaning DH and I) actually eat better and healthier then we did before as a result. It's a win win! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2037636 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 13:31:49 +0000 wonderstruck 2037636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I'm a horribly picky eater despite my parent's best efforts and I don't want my sons to grow up eating only the foods I do (and I'm sure my DH would get sick of it too) so I make a point to make something for dinner that I don't like about one night a week. I totally don't eat it though, I make myself something separate those nights because most of my dislikes are a textural thing for me and I don't think it would do much good for them to see me gagging on whatever it is that they're eating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2037631 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 13:29:16 +0000 nana87 2037631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: That's a great line to say it hurts my tummy! I was wondering how if handle that when she's older and notices that I don't eat meat</p> <p>@blackbird: it is nasty! We bought a big pack of them too, like 8 pouches, my planned to send them in to daycare so I don't have to smell them ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2037626 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 13:25:57 +0000 Grace 2037626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like peanut butter or kiwis, but I buy them for her. DH was the one who introduced them though. Neither of us likes eggplant or brussel sprouts, so she probably won't be getting them from us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2037625 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 13:25:32 +0000 psw27 2037625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hoping that LO likes everything or at least gets to try it. I'm not so concerned with my diet, since I eat almost anything (except olives, definitely not olives). DH Is worse about fruits and veggies - so we have already been talking about him having to "try" things as well as we introduce them to LO because at a certain point, LO is going to pick up on the fact that daddy won't eat peaches or Brussels sprouts, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2037589 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 13:01:03 +0000 MrsSCB 2037589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think especially if it's something you don't eat just because you don't like it, your kids should get to try it and decide for themselves. I wouldn't want to pass any weird food things on to my kids, haha. Like when my cousin was a toddler, she was eating broccoli and my uncle (her dad) was like, "Ew, you don't want to eat that!" And the guy has a terrible diet! My aunt was like, "Wtf? Let her eat the healthy broccoli!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2037586 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 12:58:24 +0000 prettylizy 2037586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I hate all fish and seafood.... Yegck!! She eats tuna at least once a week and we often order her fish when we eat out. She and DH both like it but I'm the main cook and don't often make it. I also make a point not to say that I don't like it, I say it hurts my tummy so that she doesn pick up those words. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2037576 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 12:49:38 +0000 GrapeCrush 2037576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swore up and down when I was pregnant with my first, that I wouldn't buy, or let him eat bananas because the sight makes me want to vomit...but both the kids love them(had them at grandmas first) so I do but them. They love beans, avocado, chick peas that I like, but DH hates. We try to give them a good mix and try everything since who knows what they'll like </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2037553 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 12:32:20 +0000 twodoghouse 2037553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't touch eggs, except in like cake, haha. Anyway I made my kids eggs the other day and fed it to them with my hands. Ew it was so gross, but I'm desperate to get them eatig some solids and they gobbled it up. My husband was excited because now there might actually be eggs in the house that he can eat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2037551 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 12:32:02 +0000 LuLu Mom 2037551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gotten better as an adult, I made a point about 5 years ago to start trying all the things I "hated" again as an adult with an open mind. And I'm not going to lie about 1/2 of them I eat regularly now and some even like! I do feed her potatoes which I'm not a fan of, but DH is so I still make them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2037508 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 12:07:53 +0000 catlady 2037508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I do. I was super picky as a child and young adult, and I think it was in part because my parents were pretty picky too, so they really limited what we had at home and the types of restaurants we would visit. I try to expose LO to as many foods as possible, even ones I don't really love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2037506 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 12:06:45 +0000 avivoca 2037506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to. There are certain things I can't stand (like fat on meat) that I at least want her to try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dowill-you-feed-your-kiddos-food-you-dont-eat#post-2037482 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 11:59:44 +0000 mrsjazz 2037482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate yogurt, just the smell makes me nauseous. LO eats yogurt daily so I'm getting better about that--I can only handle the smell of Fage Greek yogurt for some reason so that's what she gets.</p> <p>She also eats the fat on meat. I love meat, but I don't bite into chicken wings and I rip apart my bacon. I can't handle the taste of fat. I was watching her eat a chicken wing and she just bites into it and eats the fatty parts and it kind of made me want to puke. </p>
