Saioa’s New Aversion To All Things Healthy
One of the few healthy things she still likes
Why? Why must the palates of babies change so often? So often and SO dramatically. Saioa is one year old now and she has gone through so many food stages it’s not even funny. The best stage was when food was first introduced to her and she gobbled up anything that I put before her.
Those were the days. Pureed peas, mashed sweet potato, butternut squash, steamed apples…… she loved every bit of it and ate with extreme gusto. Then she grew some teeth so we started giving her table food. Boy was that a mistake! Once she got a taste of tasty food there was no going back to the bland mushy stuff that she once enjoyed so much.
Here is my problem, in the last couple weeks she has gotten more and more fussy about food. She demands the salty, fatty crap that she shouldn’t have! And I give in sometimes because it’s just easier or we’re out in public and I don’t want her making a scene.
I never had this problem with Serophina, she’s always eaten a variety of good, healthy foods. Even now at four years old she eats things like sushi, chicken curry, smoked salmon and tuna steak. She definitely rocks the house when it comes to eating well.
Saioa, on the other hand, has made a habit of turning her head away more and more when we offer her healthy things to eat. It’s a daily dilemma that I’ve been facing lately and I’m just not sure how to get her to love healthy foods again.
Does anyone have any advice for me?
