How do you get your kids to eat vegetables?

I was a very picky eater as a child. My mom had a special tray for me with separated sections because I thought it was gross if my foods touched each other. It had this little hole in the middle of the tray where I used to "hide" the things I didn't want to eat, like peas! Have you tried giving her Campbell's alphabet soup? It's vegetable soup, but it has the alphabet noodles in it. I was very picky about eating veggies as a kid, but I loved that soup! I also recommend trying to find ways to make food more fun. There are a lot of kid-friendly recipes out there that can turn your every day fods into something your child will enjoy. Another tip I would give is experimentation. If she likes certain flavors or certain foods, try mixing things in with those. Does she like ketchup? Let her try her green beans with ketchup! It might sound silly, but hopefully you will find a combination that she enjoys and is willing to eat! Good luck! :)

We've actually never had a problem getting our daughter to eat vegetables. She loves peas and corn and will eat several servings. Getting her to eat some kind of meat other than chicken is our problem.

Keep trying but don't force her at this point. Babies often have a very delicate sense of taste and don't like strong flavors. As they mature, they start liking things they didn't like when they were younger.

My twins were exactly like that at that age, and only recently they are starting to eat more of a variety (they're 8 now) also I was worried they weren't getting enough nutrients, but just make sure to give a multivitamin ( there are some liquid ones for the little ones) daily and she'll be fine my twins are now 4 ft 7 in, and are about to pass me up I'm only 5 ft, aldso they stopped drinking milk around 1 yr old due to an illness they got, but I constantly offer flavored milk like chocolate. The thing is to just keep trying and eventually she 'll at least take a bite, and then she grow to accept it.

My daughter was the same way. We started giving her raw vegetables...ie carrots or celery and letting her dip them in ranch dressing, peanut butter, whatever. It really worked. She loved fruit so we also upped the amount of fresh fruit we gave her each day. Now she has outgrown the phase and will eat most vegitables. Good Luck!

Well...I make sandwiches in the shape of a face and use veggies as the hair and features both of my daughters love this and they never think twice about eating them...also you can disguise them in homeade foods like soups and pizza

i started my daughter on table foods pretty early 8 months old she was eating mashed potatoes with gravy, oatmeal, soft food but i had the same problem with the veggies. what i do now (she is 2 in feburary, i sprinkle plenda ( its a sugar subsitute, or i it might sound groos but if you think about it veggies dont realy have alot of taste anyway i mix certain veggies with applsauce, i dont add anyting while i cook the veggies for the least taste possible, but i mix it with the apple sauce and let her pick at it. its messy but she eats them.

I get my daughter to eat broccoli by drenching it with cheese sauce. And she will eat carrots if I give her ranch dressing to dip them in. My son on the other hand is alot harder, I have to dice them up very small and mix a little bit in with the food he likes.

Wow that is tough. I dont have the problem with my kids they love there veggies. There favorite is steamed broccoli with melted cheese on top. My kids gobble that up like it is going out of style. We all love corn, we always have cans of corn in our cabinet and on occasion we get the frozen bags of corn to keep in our freezer. We just went grozery shopping and my husband founf 2 huge bags of broccoli and corn and grabbed both.

i don't know how i got my son started on veggies! lol i just started feeding them to him when he was about 5 mos old.. he loves eating veggies other that green beans out of the jar.. but he will eat them from the can, in a green bean cassrole or something other than the baby food one! One way you could get her to eat it is make it with like a stir fry or something! Stop giving her any junk food/ fast food. Make her eat only good stuff. if she don't eat it right away it's okay, but when she gets hungry she sure will eat it if you don't offer her any non healthy food!

My daughter will eat certain veggies, but she will also eat and say she likes anything I eat..*lol* "If mommy eats it I like it" I think it's funny in a way..but in a way it stinks...I am a very picky eater...and she don't need to take after me in that..not this early..

I usually don't have a problem with my daughter getting veggies...she could eat green beans like they are going out of style..LOL...Now my son I have a problem getting him to eat. He is 4 years old..so I tell him he needs to eat them for him to go up big and strong, and that usually helps out some. As for being 15 months old..mixing them in would be the best. Good luck!

do it comically. like put some roses around it or put some toys as the accompaniments or sing a beautiful tune to accompany the food. or serve it in picnics in beautiful places.

My son refused to eat his veggies at that age too, but now he is 7 and I really don't have a problem. I honestly don't know how the change was made other than me always putting them on his plate. I can only guess that because they were always there he just got used to them. And I did the same thing my mom did and had him finish everything on his plate. And have you tried giving her some V8 juice? It has all the veggies she needs and tastes good.

My youngest son is 24 and he still won't eat many veggies. I wish you luck with your baby. Mixing a few into other foods sounds like a good idea. You could gradually cut back on the other food until she is eating the veggie only. None of these things worked with my son. I have three other adult children who all love veggies.

well i force them to do that well this is my bonus post for today are you born again do u think you are saved u dont then you need to be born again that is it for u and secondly do u think you spend too much time on the internet if you think so then you are making alot of mistake and u need to start using mylot and you will see you are wasting no time then thirdly the mylot money making formular it is nothing more than posting big and you will be earning bigly

You can puree carrots in a blender and add them to spaghetti sauce. Supposedly they are hard to detect.

My daughter actually loves broccoli and my youngest son loves salad so I don't have that problem. My oldest son is 16 and eats lots of junk but participates in several sports so he stays skinny for now. He is the only one I have problems with and I don't worry about it much because he will eat some veggies.

My son is 2 years old and if you ask him to choose between veggies or a biscuit, he will choose the veggies. I don't know why. Might be because I ate a lot of them when I was pregnant?

hmm.. i really dont know what to tell ya. i also have a 15 month old, but he eats anything and everything
