Getting DD to eat fruit

BLPL101

She will eat a banana, but no other fruits. I have no issue getting her to eat veggies, fish, meat/chicken, bread, etc.. Any tips?

Try smoothies.  LO loves fruit anyway but we did smoothies in the summer and he loves them, add some yogurt and hopefully it works.

I would just keep offering. Which fruits have you tried? Luckily, DS likes fruits in general, but there were fruits he didn't like when he was younger at 6-7m (eg, grapes, strawberries) but he likes them now.

Sometimes it also can depend on the shape or size of the fruits you offer. Or perhaps it is a texture thing tha your dd needs to get used to? (Fruits too squishy or slimed?) also try mixing different color fruits for visual enticement.

For the most part, DS loves

Peaches, mangoes, plums, papaya, watermelon, pears, persimmons, pineapples, grapes, cantaloupe, cherries, and of course, bananas.  Having said that, some days he'll eat all the pear pieces and not the pineapple, then the next day he'll have pineapple only and rejects the pear.

Kiwi, mango, pineapple, oranges, pear, peach....hated them all. She did eat the homemade cranberry sauce we had at Christmas lol. There's a lot of fruit I haven't given her yet. Thanks for the suggestions.

DD will eat fruit- but she won't eat veggies!

So I sneak them into her other foods in puree form. Or make her smoothies.

Keep offering- DD just started to eat raw bell peppers randomly one day and took a couple bites of sauteed kale with dinner the other night.

I give LO fruit pouches. I know its not fresh fruit but shes quite picky, if I can get her to eat that then its better than nothing!
