LO HATES veggies....WWYD?

She has now started pursing her lips closed and refuses to eat them.  She loves oatmeal and rice cereal, and doesn't mind orange veggies, but the green ones she is just outright refusing.  I don't want to move on to fruits if she's not eating veggies, how long should I keep trying to get her to eat the green veggies?

    If DD didn't like something, I just kept trying it for however long I was trying new foods and then went on to something else.  Sometimes she liked it after a few tries, sometimes she didn't.

    Also, we alternated fruits and veggies and trying one didn't seem to affect her liking or not liking another. 

    Have you tried mixing a green with an orange that she did like?

    Have you tried mixing them with the oatmeal or rice cereal? How about mixing them with an orange veggie?  

    The only way DD will eat peas is if I mix them with carrots or another orange veggie.

    Try mixing the veggies with oatmeal or cereal .. it may be just enough to confuse her and get her to eat it!

    I agree with the idea to keep trying. And if that still doesn't work, try mixing something in. A little of a veggie she likes or a couple of cheese shreds, a sauce, some chicken broth, etc.

    Are you making your own or doing jars?  I don't think the jarred ones (esp green veg) taste good at all.  My rule of thumb has always been if I wouldn't eat it I should not expect DD to.  Homemade peas and green beans are beautiful and bright green-- it might help to do a few yourself and try.  Just an idea!

    I wouldn't worry about it just yet.  Move on to something else (other veggie or fruit) and then try the green veggies later.  The first veggie I tried with DD was green beans and she didn't like them.  But now, it is her absolute favorite thing to eat!  She's on finger foods now though and I think green beans must be fun for her to eat.  :)

    DD still doesn't like green beans but she does like peas. You could try sweet peas too. I ditto that I wouldn't worry about it yet. You are really way ahead of the game!

    kids go though phases of likes and dislikes. just wait and try again later.

    my son hated veggies now he hates fruit. my DD will LOVE yogurt and bananas and then out of the blue tell me she HATES them.

    just put them aside and try again in a few weeks.

    my girls never ate green veggie purees...they would just gag and spit them out and I tried them on and off for weeks...so I gave up for a bit and just stuck with the orange veggies and fruits and when we moved over to regular super stemed people veggies we had more success...
