She goes through spurts though with veggies which makes me nervous! She used to love sweet pototaoes and now throws them on the floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wasis-your-baby-a-good-eater#post-1400708 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 12:15:58 +0000 NurseMommy 1400708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: NO BACON?!?!? I think your kiddo needs help. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wasis-your-baby-a-good-eater#post-1399802 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 06:25:48 +0000 Smurfette 1399802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She is pretty good. Getting better about trying stuff. Not a fan of chicken at all, which sucks cause we eat it a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wasis-your-baby-a-good-eater#post-1399793 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 06:09:46 +0000 rachiecakes 1399793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, never has been! He likes what he likes. He'll eat spinach and edamame but hates mac and cheese. Likes toast, hates pancakes. He'll try new things but is quick to tell you if he doesn't like it, haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wasis-your-baby-a-good-eater#post-1399774 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 03:42:19 +0000 MrsStar 1399774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo was a great eater when she was on purees, she's 16 months old now and she's getting very picky - things she likes one day she refuses the day after so it's getting hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wasis-your-baby-a-good-eater#post-1399714 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 00:37:46 +0000 lovehoneybee 1399714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's 18 months and was a fantastic eater...would eat ANYTHING...until a month or so ago when he started refusing meat. Beef, chicken, pork, fish...even bacon! (SIGH). I can sometimes get him to eat sausage, but that's it, and it's hit or miss. I'm hoping it's a phase. </p> <p>He does, however, LOVE fruits, vegetables, pasta, beans and grains (he inhaled the lentil and barley stew I made two nights in a row!) so there's that at least! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wasis-your-baby-a-good-eater#post-1399709 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 00:34:40 +0000 NurseMommy 1399709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kimberlybee: we started with rice cereal and purées, but added in solids maybe about three?? weeks in. Something I've heard is that it's easier for them to handle big pieces of food - they can move them around in their mouths easier. DD loves "spears" of things like banana, avocado, toast. She's always most adventurous if she gets to touch her food and try to feed herself.<br /> @photojane: Google mama OT. She wrote an interesting post last week on babies touching their food that might? help if your lo has a texture issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wasis-your-baby-a-good-eater#post-1399694 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 00:14:08 +0000 photojane 1399694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NurseMommy: she'll be a year next week. I think she has a texture aversion, which I have too. She would eat any purées I gave her (except meat), but never got excited about any of them. Now she will basically only eat crunchy things (crackers, puffs, toast, etc) &amp; fresh fruits. She will eat a PB&amp;J if she's in the mood, and sometimes some fresh veggies or cheese, but I can't count on those. If I let her she'd eat just goldfish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wasis-your-baby-a-good-eater#post-1399692 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 00:07:31 +0000 Kimberlybee 1399692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NurseMommy: That is super and really impressive! Did you start with BLW and skip the purées? I really tried BLW but LO did not like taking big chunks in, she would make funny faces and spit it out. So I tried rice cereal and oatmeal cereal and she didn't like those either. She's been eating purées (she is 8 months) like a champ though but I think she is starting to not like purées anymore. I hope she is an adventurous eater like your LO but it doesn't look like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wasis-your-baby-a-good-eater#post-1399686 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 00:02:04 +0000 NurseMommy 1399686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: great pic! I hate sushi but look forward to my dh taking A out for it!<br /> @photojane: how old is she? Has she always been picky?<br /> @dreamocracy: I started pretty slow... But only for a couple of weeks lol. It's seriously so much fun. When I started just giving her what we eat I realized how much she likes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wasis-your-baby-a-good-eater#post-1399674 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 23:54:15 +0000 fairy 1399674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow I feel so unadventurous compared to the things your 8 month old eats! My almost 8 month old mostly just eats purees, cheerios, mum mums, bread, and a few plain steamed veggies. I was afraid that most things are too seasoned? She is more accepting of new finger foods now than she was a month ago when she mostly only wanted purees. Likes just about everything besides avocado, non-pureed banana, and tomato sauce lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wasis-your-baby-a-good-eater#post-1399663 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 23:47:55 +0000 MrsScallop 1399663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She is great about trying things (she will try anything) but she goes through a couple day spurts of not wanting to eat anything then eating most of what we give her and demanding food more often. If anything, she is least fond of sweet things but loves things that have lots of flavor or even a bit of spice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wasis-your-baby-a-good-eater#post-1399661 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 23:45:42 +0000 photojane 1399661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadie's mealtime/eating is the biggest stress in my life right now! She's so picky &amp; doesn't have much of an appetite. It's tough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wasis-your-baby-a-good-eater#post-1399660 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 23:43:21 +0000 Boheme 1399660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he eats everything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wasis-your-baby-a-good-eater#post-1399653 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 23:40:22 +0000 Sammyfab 1399653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: I am so jealous that your LO loves sushi! It's one of our favourite things to eat and my LO will just grab a roll and pick off all of the rice!</p> <p>He has always been meh about food...not the pickiest but not the most adventurous or compliant either. We are big fans of meat and ethnic foods and he is not. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wasis-your-baby-a-good-eater#post-1399640 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 23:31:52 +0000 BeachMama 1399640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was great when she was on purees. Now at 20 months she is PICKY. I struggle to get her to eat any veggies. Or really anything that's not bread, crackers, or fruit cups. It's so frustrating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wasis-your-baby-a-good-eater#post-1399639 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 23:30:36 +0000 yoursilverlining 1399639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 19 months and (knock on wood) is a great eater. She will try everything and she likes almost all of it! She even loves sushi! I hope she doesn't become a picky toddler.... </p> [attach=1754/14/n0i9v3.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wasis-your-baby-a-good-eater#post-1399635 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 23:28:50 +0000 autumnlove 1399635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, great eater until she was 13-14 months...then she got picky about everything and threw stuff. It got better around 21 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wasis-your-baby-a-good-eater#post-1399623 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 23:19:50 +0000 NurseMommy 1399623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If so, did it change as they got older? When?</p> <p>Feeding my 8 month old gives me so much joy. She loves almost everything. The only things to date that she hasn't liked are chicken noodle soup (salty), wax beans, pasta with meat sauce, and chicken Parmesan. She'll eat meat, shrimp, fish, veggies, ethnic foods, fruit, bread, salsa, you name it! Today we were at the grocery store and I gave her a sample of a barley salad. She loved it so much I had to go back and ask for seconds. Lol the sample lady was surprised, saying most kids didn't like it because it was so tangy. </p> <p>This is a good thing, right? </p>
