9 month old suddenly refusing vegetables.

[AliceW89]

We started weaning my 9 mo at 6 months entirely via BLW (the little rotter refused a spoon 😂). We thought we’d hit the jackpot at first, he ate literally every vegetable we gave him, including strong flavours like sprouts and cabbage. For the last week or so however his vegetable intake has crashed. He’ll pick at avocado or courgette and point blank cry at anything else. Only wants beige - the toast or crumpet from his breakfast, pasta, a sandwich etc. We’ve tried not giving him anything but the veg as a bit of tough love but he gets very upset and hungry! He adores pear, could eat it by the bucket load, but other than that he’s not hugely fussed by fruit. We’ve given him nothing artificially sweet yet.

I knew he wouldn’t stay this good with veg for ever but I thought fussiness was more a phenomena of later babyhood/toddlerhood? I’m not sure there is much we can do other than hope it’s yet another phase!? Any words of wisdom appreciated! X

Hi there

I have a 2yo and 4yo and they are up and down with veg. sometimes they'll eat it all and sometimes it's a great big YUK! There tastes buds change a lot so I just keep adding it on their plate and not make a big deal of it.
I also have roasted some, food processed and added it to sauces. I've add a little ketchup or brown sauce on veg. I cut some veg up so they look like chips. I let them taste the veg on my plate. I make a stew with veg in gravy.
I don't think there is a right way. My 4yo had a dietician for his reflux and they said just keep adding it on the plate to keep trying so it becomes normal
good luck x
