Not really dipping, but if we put the tiniest drop of jelly on a piece of salmon on her fork or spoon she GOBBLES it up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-toddler-dipping-foods#post-1562487 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 10:03:59 +0000 Amelieisme 1562487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My toddler is the same! He loves dips. He has such good manners with it too and just gets an appropriate amount of dip. I do hummus (even with steamed carrots...he's a toddler and doesn't realize that's a little unorthodox!). He has pretty good choppers and can eat raw cucumber with it too. Greek yogurt and fruit or in place of things you would eat with sour cream. Last night we had pork which he wasn't really eating and I gave him some mild horseradish sauce and he ate it all up! Dips are great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-toddler-dipping-foods#post-1562469 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:58:00 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1562469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this problem with DS. He's gone on a nearly veggie and carb (like breads, cereals, etc) diet but the other day I realized that some grilled chicken that he could use a fork to dip into ranch dressing? He gobbled it up! I'm also big on the carrots and hummus. He'll eat most of the carrots and all of the hummus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-toddler-dipping-foods#post-1562440 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:49:48 +0000 fancyfunction 1562440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about baked sweet potato, zucchini or string bean "fries"? Little broccoli or cauliflower florets are good too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-toddler-dipping-foods#post-1562409 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:42:44 +0000 swurlygurl 1562409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: Hah, that makes me laugh (re: yogurt). My niece and nephew were obsessed with applesauce. Not eating their spaghetti? Dump some applesauce on top! Don't want roast beef + mashed potatoes? Add some applesauce! Makes me gag, but they loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-toddler-dipping-foods#post-1562393 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:37:40 +0000 LuLu Mom 1562393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO dips everything, so we do yogurt a lot (kind of gross seeing what she chooses to dip in it, but she doesn't mind), guacamole, salsa, mustard. She wants to dip everything so I just let her! We do hummus too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-toddler-dipping-foods#post-1562387 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:35:51 +0000 mrskc 1562387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hummus!

L loves dipping her eggs in salsa. I also have her dip steamed veggies (carrots, potatoes, broccoli stems, brussel sprouts) in salsa if she's being too fussy to eat well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-toddler-dipping-foods#post-1562348 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:21:41 +0000 lawbee11 1562348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pita bread and hummus?

My grandma was watching him last night and gave him some meatballs with a little ketchup. She said he ate it all because he got to dip it into the ketchup! </p> <p>I need more ideas now! What foods does your toddler like to dip? Any healthy alternatives for dips? </p>
