Toddler won’t eat fruit, ever!
Show your support
Both my boys are very fussy eaters it’s a battle every meal time. Even now with my oldest and he’s almost 17 🤦♀️ my other son is 3 and autistic, he will not touch fruit or veg we have tried everything! His paediatrician said to give him vitamins so he’s getting something good in his diet
hmm, have you tried making smoothies? sometimes they'll drink it if they won’t eat it! this is what the 'Heal Baby Care App' mentioned… hope it helps! "It sounds challenging, but you're doing a great job trying different approaches! Here are two suggestions: 1. Incorporate fruit into familiar foods: Since she enjoyed apple muffins, try adding fruit to pancakes or oatmeal. You can also blend fruits into smoothies with yogurt or milk, making it a fun drink. 2. Make it fun and interactive: Create a fruit-tasting activity where she can explore different textures and colors. Let her pick fruits at the store or help wash and prepare them, which may spark her interest. Have you noticed if she prefers certain textures or flavors in other foods?"
Mine isn't a toddler yet however from looking after children previously, like @Susan mentioned, smoothies in fun colours help. Also u can buy cute cookie cutters and cut their fruit and veg in shapes they like. If they still struggle worse to worse add a dip they like to eventually get them used to it. Good luck!
Does she eat veggies? Is she picky about other things? My middle child had oral aversions as a baby/toddler and one thing with fruit is that it is very variable. One blueberry might be sweet while the next is sour. A child may not like the inconsistency. For our purposes, we always still served fruits and vegetables but with safe foods on the plate to choose from as well.
