Ella has gotten worse and worse when it comes to eating vegies. From liking pretty much all of them as a baby (except tomato) I am now scratching my head trying to find any she likes. I can still give...

Fortunately for me, DD never gave me those issues. Mind you, I don't give her a choice really. That is your dinner, eat it kind of thing. I have never bribed and refuse to. She either eats it, or goes...

I have just discovered spaghetti omelets - they are a HUGE hit here! And super easy..... Cooked spaghetti, eggs, grated cheese, and if you're feeling sneaky - grated veggies Adding beetroot juice to...

"She either eats it, or goes without." Same with me, but because I only cook for the 2 of us, I seem to pander to her needs more and more. I hate seeing her dinner go in the bin with her hardly having...

Link for spaghetti omelets here. You can't really see or taste the eggs You could always try just a couple of veggie plants in a pot?? And what about veggie juices?? The girls will almost always drink...

Lin with dd I find the best way for her to eat anything is if she is involved in the prep of the meal.... For example she loves chicken soup at the moment - no coinincidence she helped me make it and...

Forgot to add that I am like this too... Ever since I heard that ridiculos number of kids not eating vegies... Like 90% dont get the RDI... The other thing I found with dd is getting someone else to...

I can deal with her leaving most of her dinner EXCEPT if she doesn't eat any veggies. No veggies, no desert. But like most parents, I want to avoid turning dinner time into a battle. I do let her...

D just added that maybe make sure Ella's is not having a big or late afternoon tea also. If she is hungry by dinner time, she is more likely to eat what ever it is. Also make sure afternoon tea is not...

"Mind you, I don't give her a choice really. That is your dinner, eat it kind of thing." That is the approach I used with dd also. My mother used to always give us everything on our plate - the rule...

My mum made us try a few bites of everything, but I was a very fussy eater all through my childhood and if anything her policy only made me more determined to remain so. So I don't force Ella to eat...

I used to puree vegetables into things (still do it sometimes but DS is much better at eating these days). I'd make the purees ahead of time and freeze them. I'd add them to everything and he could...

Good idea to have pureed vegies ready in the freezer! I love pan frying veggies and I love garlic, so will try that too. I also remembered I bought some tools to encourage dd to help me with meal...

The only thing I can add to all this (and I admit, I haven't gone back to read the thread from the beginning, so may be repeating someone else) is that you keep trying. DS is not a vege fan but will...

She's not too bad with that, MS. She accepts that tastes change, which I think is great and is the reason why I never force her to eat anything she doesn't like. But I can persuade her to taste things...
