[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try a several hour vacation from sweet foods per day, so a meal would be hard boiled eggs, no nitrate lunch meat, cheese, the veg. You can also put unsalted butter or hummus on the veg. Try zucchini and cucumber, even very picky kids tend to eat those greens. Let her play with a piece of carrot (or cucumber with the seeds removed) too big to choke on as a chew toy. Avoid the fruit commercial baby foods that are highly processed. Even if they don't have sugar added, the cooking breaks down the starches so they may as well had sugar added. And they have citric acid so they are very sweet and tangy - i.e. taste nothing like vegetables. Nothing sweeter than applesauce. [/quote]

Taking a break from sweet foods is a good idea. Most days she has fruit at the end of meals (i dont serve it first on purpose).  I also like the idea of cucumber no seeds. Ive been doing mini cucumbers peeled and cut into discs but i might do better with a traditional cucumber peeled and the middle removed.

The apple sauce I refer to is apples cooked with just enough water that they dont burn and mashed with a potato masher. The only commercial baby foods I give is the baby oatmeal and the teething crackers.  Everything else is something we are eating that i prepare for her plain or something i cook for her.
