sweet V's savoury - no doubt which she prefers!

[lazzaroo]

My dd is just 7 months and has been enjoying her first solids. I am a bit concerned that she is, understandably, favouring sweet things. She loves pear! I am offering her savoury and to begin with she was enjoying it but recently seems to have gone off it. She might have a couple of mouthfuls and then refuses. But she'll happily eat dessert! should I stop giving her dessert! I'm not sure if it is just becasue I think she is teething and dessert is usually cold and soothing, or something like a banana which she can bite down on.

Any tips for getting her to love her veg and meat as mich as her fruit and yoghurt?

Mix everything, including veg and meat, with pear.

pear goes great with butternut squash, check out some of the baby recipes online for some great fruit veg combos, then just increase ratio of veg to fruit as they get used to it.

We are designed biologically to prefer sweet things. People can also eat more when they are given varied tastes. So you will eat more at a 5 course meal than just eating lots of one course.
Carrots are pretty sweet too. Just make sure everything is as nutritious as possible.
