21 month old great eater suddenly off vegetables. Phase? Tips to move beyond it?

[Teddymonkey]

He just won't touch the veggies he used to love. It could be teething but it may be we're in a new phase of eating. He's BLW so has a wide diet, and always has had.

I keep putting veggies into lunch and supper, hoping he'll switch back, but no luc for the most part...he'll eat corn on the cob and a few tomatoes on occasion. Nothing green!

Blend them in a tomato sauce or soup. Or try cutting them in different fun shapes. Also if I make a salad I ask my toddler to take it to the table and not to eat it ;)of course she usually does.

Don't panic, just keep offering them, he'll come around
(it may help to call brocolli "dinosaur trees" and tomatoes "moon balls" for a bit....)

My DD went off veges completely at around the same age, but has gradually started liking them again. When she's not had any for a while I make a brocolli quiche, she happily eats that.

DS went off vegetables, one by one, at about the same age. The last 2 to go were peas and sweetcorn, until the only vegetable he would eat was carrots. So for years we had carrots with everything - no wonder we are all bright orange! DS only started eating green stuff again at 20.

DS is same age and stopped eating veg but has started eating more things again after I got him some toy food and pans and then showed him how I cooked and gave him veg crudités and a blunt knife and some yogurt dip. I let him bang my old pans and wooden spoons and stick him in the high chair to observe me cooking. Also cut out pictures of vegetables from magazines and stick on paper, what showing him the real thing. Telling him about them, eg dogs like roast potates, birds like peas. Offering food to his toys and (look, teddy loves those red peppers, yum, ooh, the fire engine is eating all the broccoli etc)

It's still hit and miss though. When all else fails, vegetables are smuggled into a Trojan cheese toasty.
