My veggie 2.6yr DS occasionally says he wants 'something to crunch' at mealtimes. He has a varied, healthy diet rich in texture but won't touch raw food like carrots, radishes, cucumber etc. (A problem which started when he wouldn't touch 'finger food' during weaning with his fingers! )
He has the odd few crisps, crackers, nuts etc but I'd appreciate some healthy ideas.
To those veggie mums out there, I'm a bit concerned that I'm not giving him foods to develop/strengthen his jaw muscles. Perhaps that's why he's asking for something 'to crunch', as he puts it? What do you give your DCs?
