It's not a struggle that's important to me as long as her diet is well balanced. I'll ask if she wants to try it and if she doesn't that's that. I'll continue to offer it the next time it's served even if I know she didn't want to try it the last time. A lot of the time she will eventually eat it when I'm not looking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-encourage-your-lo-to-try-new-foods#post-2250005 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 13:34:49 +0000 mediagirl 2250005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just say, "You don't have to like it, but you do have to try it." She will typically just lick it and then say mmm or yuck. Haha. I will make her put it in her mouth after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-encourage-your-lo-to-try-new-foods#post-2250003 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 13:34:07 +0000 Bao 2250003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a hit or a miss if I can get my kids to try something new. Sometimes asking if they can please take one bite, and if they don't like it they don't have to eat it works, but sometimes it doesn't. It's funny though, they will try the oddest looking things but won't try something simple and what I find to be kid friendly. </p> <p>Are there any tricks to getting LO's to try new foods? </p>
