Fish sticks

My friend watched Luke for me a few weeks ago and said he really liked the fish sticks w/ ketchup she gave him.  SO I bought some fish sticks and he is currently eating them with a little bit of ketchup on his plate.  Well...he keeps dipping the sticks into the ketchup and sucking it off!

When you give your kids fish sticks, do you give them sauce or just the fish?  Ordinarily I would have just given him the sticks, but my friend had told me she had given it to him with ketchup so I figured, why not.  Now I think I know why not!

    I have not given Lili fish sticks yet (the smell of fish makes me gag!), but my rule of thumb is to not give her condiments. I know that she would just end up licking all of the ketchup or mustard off of her plate and not finish her dinner. Maybe next time try not giving him condiments and see if he'll eat the fish sticks alone?

    We don't do any condiments. A friend of mine has a daughter that is 9mo older than DD. She started giving her condiments when she was about 1yr old and wont eat anything now unless it has a sauce.

    We don't give condiments right now either. I don't want to deal with the mess and I want her to learn to eat food without dipping it in something. Whenever she figures out that we always use condiments with stuff, then I guess we'll have to start giving her some too.

    I haven't tried fish sticks yet just because I'm pretty sure she won't eat them.

    I tried fish sticks w/DD and they were a huge fail. I even tried to give her some ketchup... She dunked her finger in and spread it onto the stick. So ketchup=FAIL too! She just stacked the sticks on the edge of her plate.

    DD doesn't like condiments either so we're gonna hold off until she asks for some herself. She's unsure of fish sticks as well.

    My niece does this w/anything she dips in ketchup (she's 20 months). She'll suck it off and then eat what she dipped into it after.

    DS just had fish sticks today and loved them with no sauce.  We do give BBQ sometimes with chicken and I have to remind him to actually bite the chicken and not just lick the sauce off.

    DS had fish sticks today too, he loves them.  Usually we give him ketchup and he licks most of it off the fish stick, but since he eats them after he licks of the ketchup, we don't mind giving it to him.  Today he just had the fish sticks plain since he had lots of other tomatoes today and we didn't want him getting a tummy ache, he didn't seem to notice and happily ate all his sticks!
