Convincing Your Baby To Eat Vegetables. Or Not.

When I started to read all about weaning I found much talk about the need to disguise vegetables so that your little one would eat them. Having then found various baby led weaning websites, and no mention whatsoever of disguising food we thought we’d take the easy option.

So we cleverly dressed a broccoli floret up like….. a broccoli floret, dressed a carrot up like a carrot and (this is my favourite) we disguised a baby sweetcorn as …. wait for it…. a baby sweetcorn. And she fell for it! Really! She ate the lot :)

Eh hem. Sarcasm over. My point is that sometimes it’s worth giving the little ones a chance to decide for themselves if they like veggies or not? If you don’t teach your baby they areĀ  supposed to dislike vegetables then maybe, just maybe, they’ll actually like them.
