How do you retry foods?

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

So if your LO doesn't like a food the first time how do you go about trying it again? Like, do you try again the next day or wait a few days??

DS did NOT like peas when we tried them tonight!  I don't know if it's the slightly grainy texture or if it's peas itself, but I know you are to try again and try again... Should I add it to cereal??

Same thing with bananas....which is weird, because he loves banana oatmeal, but not bananas itself.  I just mashed it up with a spoon so maybe it was the texture.

Any advice would be wonderful!  Thanks

    my little one is not a fan of bananas or apples when by themselves but he does like them mixed with something. (banana's and blueberries / sweet potatoes and apples) so try mixing peas with something else! and it is up to you to try them tomorrow or wait a day. i do know that you are supposed to try several times. and again when they get older. taste buds are always changing!

    I've waited a few days and tried again. Also depending on the food I've mixed it with something she loves and phased out the other food. Like she loves banana but wasn't nuts about avocado no matter how much I tried so I mixed 20-80%, 40-60%, 60-40%, so on until she was eating only avocado and now takes it with no issues.

    I found the second of third try after a little break she was usually fine with the food. If not I snuck it in with something she already likes.

    Thanks!!!  I think I'll try peas with carrots and go back to mixing the banana with oatmeal or try it with pears!

    We haven't tried apples yet, that's coming soon, so if he likes that I'll mix the banana in!

    It actually takes 10-12 times of a LO trying something to determine if the "like" it or not.  Just keep trying. :)
