my 14month old still struggles with solid food. any advice to encourage her please!!!?

February 8, 2011 By Admin 3 Comments

hi there,

my little girl who is 14 months, is still rejecting solid foods…to be honest; i think i didn’t stick at it enough in the first year, so she more or less ate the (smooth) savory foods- which is no problem and the sweet ones also. she drinks her milk fine but i want her to try more solids foods like lumpy stew etc…she also has no problem with baby biscuits and raisins -stuff like that..

has anyone got any useful tips to get her eating better?!?!

i was thinking of taking it very gradually e.g. a few mouthfuls of stage 2 savory a day.

im only after trying the stage two (stew) and she was turning away and trying to spit it out.

i want her to have a healthy diet and i understand a lot of kids can be picky at some stage, i just want to get her used to a thicker texture, so it is more filling for her.

thanks in advance

Need Tips on raising multiple family members with multiple food intolerances!?

December 16, 2010 By Admin 2 Comments

I have two DDs, 2 and 3, who are on somewhat similar diets for their food intolerances. They are very extensive (gluten, soy, dairy, glutamate, nitrates). Then myself, I am vegetarian and have other food intolerance issues (certain lectins in certain foods I can’t eat, like potatoes, some beans, bananas, etc). Then there is my husband who refuses to eat anything healthy and will only eat pizza, hamburgers, fried chicken…and not the gluten-free version.

I was wondering if there was anyone else out there in the same boat who could offer some advice. It is getting harder and harder to answer questions my kids ask like, “mommy where is your chicken?” or “daddy your not eating broccoli?”. But there are NO meals that we can eat as a family…not even similar ones.

Any suggestions as to how I teach my kids that we are all on specific diets and it is ok for them to eat different foods than us?
