Maya loves noodles too, I tend to let her eat them on the floor and chuck a sheet underneath her, that way the mess is contained coz even now she gets them everywhere!]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2006 14:39:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4013&PID=77634&title=what-to-feed-her#77634 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4013&PID=77629&title=what-to-feed-her#77629 Author: Bizzy

eewww - those 1-3 cans are revolting - gabriel couldnt stand them.
i would prob either mix your food in with them or just start offering her other food and if she doesnt eat it then tough. (well maybe a piece of fruit if you are worried.) at that age she should be getting into the hang of family meals and if she knows you'll just give her a can if she doesnt eat it shen she wont eat.

have you tried pasta - the boys love it just on its own or with a bit of cheese on top, noodles are another fave here - messy but it gets mostly eaten...sausages as finger food - cut lengthways, meatballs... my boys generally dont eat much meat either and mashed veges are a no go with them too - its funny tho cause when they are babies thats all they eat.

that's not a bad idea actually. The funny thing is she will eat rice and pumpkin toddler food but if i gave her the same stuff it would end up on the floor! She does like the veges in them though so probably wouldn't notice that they are different, might be worth a shot.]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2006 14:32:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4013&PID=77627&title=what-to-feed-her#77627 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4013&PID=77548&title=what-to-feed-her#77548 Author: Maya

I wish I had some advice, but considering Maya is probably anaemic because she refuses to eat any meat except mince and those revolting cheerio sausages I'm probably not a great source of inspiration...

That said, she is a huge fan of mashed spud and will eat it by the plateful. Or how about something like cauli or broccoli with a cheese sauce - that way it will kind of resemble some of the things that come out of the Watties cans. Even maybe macaroni cheese but sneak some mixed veg into the mix.

I mix mixed veges into baked beans too for a lazy dinner for Maya sometimes.]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2006 11:13:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4013&PID=77548&title=what-to-feed-her#77548 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4013&PID=77457&title=what-to-feed-her#77457 Author: nuttymama

Busy mum - she won't eat anything that is made out of potatoes including hot chips and potato chips- Strange child.

Jacobs mama, I like the idea of mixing our food with hers that is definately worth a try I might give it a go tonight.

Nikki - She won't will you believe eat sauce or gravy fussy little monkey. But will try the smily face and the food on the side.

She a problem child this one.

I had this problem with Jacob, so what I did was I sneakily blended "our food" in with the tin stuff, started off with mash spud or rice or a bit of pasta, and gradually increased the quantity untill it was all "our food". Took a while, but worked fine. I still give him a tin occasionally, if I have been lazy, but when I do ur meals, I do enough for 2 meals for him. I do have a problem getting him to eat "our meat" so I have a supply of frozen casseroles, mince etc, that I freeze when we have had it to add to our veges for him, and I also use inghams chicken patties and lately he has been aeting sealord hoki fillets (one does 2 meals) that I just microwave for 4 minutes. Angel Bay burger paties are another good one, but I find they make for REALLY awfully smelly #2s and blow offs, so i only use in emergencies!
Jakes faves ae now silver beet, broccoli, and cauli.
Hope this helps!]]> Tue, 10 Oct 2006 14:44:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4013&PID=77345&title=what-to-feed-her#77345 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4013&PID=77323&title=what-to-feed-her#77323 Author: nikkitheknitter

Hrmmm... being nerdily creative to start with to ease her into it? Like making a face out of her meal or something?

Or serving some of the watties tinned food with home made extras on the side?

Ah I don't know... toddlers drive me insane!
Han won't eat potatoes either! Argh!

Have you tried the tomato sauce trick? Kidlets seem to be open to a whole lot more food if it has some sauce to dip it in to.

Good luck!!!]]> Tue, 10 Oct 2006 14:12:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4013&PID=77323&title=what-to-feed-her#77323 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4013&PID=77187&title=what-to-feed-her#77187 Author: busymum

Sounds like a sweet tooth lol. Does she eat potatoes if they are mashed up? I'm inclined to go the "hard" way but maybe there is a way to mash up some sweet veges (kumara, pumpkin) into her Watties fruit she might take that?

My younger sister didn't eat meat for a couple of years because she found the chewing not worth the effort. She still (at 22yrs) is fussy about certain chewy meats lol]]> Tue, 10 Oct 2006 08:31:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4013&PID=77187&title=what-to-feed-her#77187 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4013&PID=77161&title=what-to-feed-her#77161 Author: nuttymama

Hi I need some advice! Abby is now 21 months old and the only food she will eat for tea is the watties 1-3 tins, and even then it's only certain ones. we have tried her several times with our meals and she just chucks them on the floor. She eats regular food during the day, she loves yoghurt, rice wafers and crackers and will eat fruit but hates potatoes and meat. I never had this problem with my other two.

Has anyone else had something similar? Should I just be hard and not give her anything else?
