My baby is 9 month old and she only like to eat fruits and veggies

Like everyone has already stated, she doesn't need meat yet. My daughter is 19 months and has just started to eat tiny pieces of chicken. I think baby food meats are disgusting so I didn't even bother trying to give them to my last three children. I just wait until they are big enough to chew meat on their own. My daughter loves tofu. She only has 6 teeth and they are all in the front. Tofu is easy for her to just mash up in her mouth. Before she was eating chunked fruits, I would mix up some organic vanilla yogurt into the baby food fruits. She liked that quite a bit too.

I think this is a common thing amongst many babies. The little girl that I babysit, about 1 1/2 years old, she doesn't like to eat either. I'm not sure what it is, maybe how tough it is. Are you tried feeding her chicken? I used to make these chicken nuggets for her and she loved them since they were softer than regular chicken. She'll eventually get to the age where she loves meat and hates veggies and fruits!! Good Luck. :)

That can lead to a low iron count. the doctor may want to out her on a vitamin plus iron chewable. You can't force them to eat something they don't want to, but you can make sure they stay healthy.

that's good 'cos some kids are very hard to eat especially veggies...just don't forced them to eat meat or other foods, slowly but surely... :-)

She does not need to eat meat yet. My youngest did not eat meat until she was about 4. She is 6'1" and now 26 years old healthy as can be and still eats mostly veggies. As long as she is growing and healthy, she is fine.

Don't force your child to eat anything. She will eat meat when she is ready. It could be the texture she doesn't like, it could be the taste. Either way though, as long as she's eating, don't worry so hard over meat etc. If you try to force her to eat things, it will make her dislike them even more. As long as your dr says she's healthy, it doesn't really matter if she's eating meat or not.

Really your baby can get all her vitamins and minerals that she needs fromm her vegetables and fruits. When she is ready for meat she will eat it. Babies are smarter than we think they are. Here is a web site that give a very good breakdown of healthy foods so that you can be sure that you are giving your baby what she needs. http://whfoods.org/ It tells you how each food is healthy and how it can fight diseases as well as recipes.

I had a lot of trouble getting my son to eat a variety of foods and found the best way was to use the blender to puree meat and add it to vegetables. He soon got the taste for it and after that he would eat most foods

You are very lucky that your daughter loves to eat fruits and veggies... most babies hate to eat veggies... mine would only eat carrots and rice with soup... What i do to make my baby eat a little meat is... i blend the meat then mix it with her regular food... that way she doesn't notice it and there is no need for her to chew... but at that age, she doesn't need to take in a lot of meat... giving it to her twice or three times a week will do...

If you really realy want her to eat meat then I think you try blending them meat with the veggies, starting with liver or put meat soup in the vegie so that she can used to the smell of meat first. Also try introducing some dairies to her meals like margarine, butter, ghee and others.

just let her eat on her own time...it may was ment for her to be a vegiterian..lol she might not like meat at all.. atleast she is eating what is good for her now so it wont hurt her

Chocolate is a vegetable, believe it or not. It has lots of protein, too, just like meat.

She really doesn't need a whole lot of meat right now anyway.. so she should be fine.. forcing her to eat something isn't really the right idea, because it is only going to make her want to repell it more. You didn't specificy which cuts of meat you have tried, alot of kids prefer something like hotdogs or lunch meat better than a hambugar or pieces of a steak, its too tough. I suggest cutting up some ham strips and see how she likes those!

I had this same type of problem with my first daughter. She is still a very picky eater, but has gotten much better. The doctors told me that when she was very young (under 1 year) that it wasn't necessary for her to have the meat. In my case, I had to just wait it out, but of course I always offered her the meat it just took her a couple years to actually start eating it. She is now almost 5 and she eats chicken, turkey, pepperoni, and hot dogs. She will not go near any hamburger meat! You will get through it, just keep offering the meats and eventually she will eat some of it.
