If your LO doesn't like a puree fruit or veggie...

do you still feed it to them for 3-4 days?  Or is that kind of null and void since they don't like it anyway?

I know they say it takes quite a few times trying something for your baby to know whether or not they actually like it, but DS is refusing to eat peas so far.  It's the first thing he has rejected and even in oatmeal (his favorite thing) he still didn't really want it.  Should I keep trying to get him to taste it and have a pre-tested meal backup?  Or should I just leave it alone for awhile and try it again in a month or two?

    You should keep offerning it, but it doesn't have to be every day.  DS hates peas as well.  I have been mixing them with carrots now, and he eats them that way.  I will be trying them again straight soon and we will see if he has changed his mind.

    Great idea!  We're introducing carrots soon, so that would be a good way to do it.  Thanks!

    What worked for us is adding 1/2 carton of yobaby yogart to breakfast and lunch servings as well as fruit to sweeten it up... it was the only way to get DD to eat her purees.  She needed it to be creamy LOL.

    Just keep trying and try to change up the flavor to see what works.  Adding fruit to the veggies is a natural way to sweeten it up for them too.  HTH!
