Child that wont eat veggies!

It is very strange that children don't like eating vegetables. My child is the same. When he was little, he didn't eat anything that were green. I tried to make him mashed potato and I was glad that he liked it. At least it is a kind of vegetable that he can accept. Try to cook your vegetable in different way and make it have a nice shape. This situation may change especially when your child goes to the kindergarten. The teacher will have methods to let children eat vegetables. I love China

When my daughter was the same age as your daughter is now, I would put vegetables inside other things so she didn't know they were there. I'd make a meatloaf or chicken loaf and put in finely cut zucchini, peas, beans, carrots etc into the recipe. I also made a lot of soups that needed to be blended so she couldn't see chunks of vegetables - like broccoli or cauliflower soup - and she'd eat them because she couldn't see what was in them. She eats all sorts of vegetables now and she's four, but getting her used to them was the hard part when she was younger.

I have read in the parenting magazines that we need to keep offering the kids vegetables over and over again at every meal until they will finally accept it. I admit that did not work for us. Fortunately our boys love spaghetti and spaghetti-O's in a can and the sauces are loaded with vegetables. If you can get your daughter to drink V8 Fusion, you are already doing good. They also sell those vegetable vitamin supplements, I saw them for sale one day. Our boys still won't eat many vegetables but a nutritionist told us to keep trying and keep doing the spaghetti sauces. We have tried adding vegetables to other foods and that worked with one child but the other one found it! We just aren't sneaky enough to get anything passed him!

Will she eat mashed potatoes? You can puree other veggies into that as well as spaghetti sauce. I also found a great recipie for Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread, there's zucchini in it so it is somewhat healthy but it tastes tooo good for one to assume there's a veggie in there. There's also a book on how to hide veggies ect. I don't recall the title as someone had suggested it to me.

try vegetable soup with meat in it,most kids will eat that when they refuse veggies, experiment with mixing corn' with other veggies also. mashed potatoes would be good with corn, soft green veggies like zucchini would mash up with potato aNd the corn, I never met a child who wou ldnt eat mashed potatoes/try soup with baby food veggies mixed in and lots of beef flavor she might like that. it may be the texture of some veggies too. maKe a soup with V8 and sneak in some mashed 'veggies,bet she will eat it as she cannot spit out mashed veggies. good luck.

Hmm... if you cook it good in meals doesn't help her to eat, maybe you could try to do some rewards thing like tell her tio eat veggies regularly so mama will give you candy once a month for her being good.(If candy is not good for her yet, maybe you can try teddy bear? It might help when she gets used to eating vegetables and find them tasty.

One theory of feeding children with veggies is during the time you are br*astfeeding your baby. They said that when you eat veggies and br*astfeeding your baby; the taste of the veggies as well as its nutrients will go to your milk thereby introducing veges early. Back to your problem. I think it would be best for you to look for recepies that incorporate vegetables but masking its taste. There are also certain food that they call "vegemeat" that looks and taste like meat but they are actually vegetables.In time the baby will start liking vege. You also can give additional dietary supplements. for the additional nutrients that can be lost during the coing process. I hope it helped you.
