Right now I hide the bowl in the MICROWAVE smh. Or he will bring me a new piece of fruit to eat every 5 minutes.

My child asks for a “nana” at every house we go 🥹

I've always kept our fruit in the fridge tbh

lmao that’s mine with apples!

really that’s so interesting. What about bananas?!

I don't like bananas so I've rarely gotten them, probably haven't gotten any in over a year, but that's probably the only fruit I've ever left out

ah ok. Same honestly but my son lovessss them. I keep most of my fruit out cuz I have super sensitive teeth and biting into cold fruit gives me the ick lol. Unless it’s ripening too fast then I’ll put it in the fridge to try and save it.

I keep all fruit in the fridge so I guess it’s hidden!

They’re not hidden, just out of their reach. I explain to them that they shouldn’t ask for a fruit unless they’re gonna eat it.

the thing is he will eat 4 bananas back to back 🤣 or a bite of every apple. I can’t 🤣

My daughter is on a cookie binge, but she still loves apples and watermelon.

All my fruit (minus bananas) are in the fridge in a drawer he can't reach. I'm also super strict with how much food he has out. If he doesn't finish his breakfast, he gets no other food until he finishes it. If I let him, he will eat one bite of breakfast and then just live on bananas, yogurts, and these chocolate date snacks I have for him. And if he wants a banana he gets one and nothing else until he finishes it. Since I've started doing this, it's amazing how much he's willing to eat to get his yogurt or date snacks😂 my husband and I were getting super upset with the food waste.

Our bananas are on the counter and all other fruit are in the fridge I don’t
Usually restrict fruit intake they usually can have as much as they like. My 3 year old asks for fruit and gets multiple servings daily / has fruit bowl every morning that his father or I usually make and my one year olds typically gets what my 3 year old gets for the most part but they like bananas a bit more at this particular time

Oh my gosh we're dealing with this right now. My kids will take a few bites out of every apple and go through a bag in 2-3 days!

Mine are all in the fridge and the bananas are in the larder so she can’t see them. However she’s 4 and can open the fridge so she will just help herself if she wants them/snacks 😂

We have yet to find something that helps… he’s gonna get his fruit by any means

Depends on the fruit. Some is in the fridge and some in the fruit bowl. He’s gotten up to grab an orange or apple but taking bites or wanting a little of everything doesn’t fly in our house. We corrected him one or two times and it hasn’t been an issue since.

On top of the fridge

Our fruit in the fridge is an a drawer and on the highest shelf. Counter fruits are on a high-ish display shelf that I can still easily reach 😆

My son absolutely loves fruit; will kill a pack of raspberries same day bought if I let him; strawberries included, don't get me started on watermelon; most fruit I'll keep in the fridge; but the bananas I leave in a bowl on the counter where he can't reach he might point to it, in the morning and start his breakfast off with a banana and then it's whatever fruit next; he's also a avid grape eater... I put the fruit in a bowl for him and let him go to town lol
