…on foods you don’t think your toddler likes. It’s been a gratifying week. Toddlers have weird taste buds and weird moods to go along with those strange taste buds, but you never know what they will fancy one day to the next. So even if you think your little one definitely will not like, or has even refused more than once, a certain food, don’t give up–keep offering. Meghan ate devoured two different foods this week that I didn’t think she’d ever really love.
My general rule with any meal is that I always offer something I know Meghan will like–for her it’s cheese or fruit–so that I know she’s not going to go hungry because she doesn’t like what I’m offering. There will be something for her to eat that she almost always enjoys. The rest of her meal may consist of something she occasionally likes and occasionally refuses, and then something she has always refused, or something new. I don’t give up on offering the foods she has previously refused.
Pictured is one of Meghan’s favorite sandwich combos: mashed avocado+nutritional yeast. Yum! |
