[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you do not start feeling your child the same foods you eat from the time they are eating baby food you have missed the boat. Blend everything into a purée or smaller pieces when they are up to that stage. That is their time to play experiment, and get used to the texture of different foods. The problem is introducing these processed, bland foods and getting them hooked on it, and then expecting them to wean off of that at some point. It’s like making them eat beige and then introducing them to red. Of course it will be too much for them bc you trained them to only tolerate beige[/quote]

Controversial, but I do think this is true. We gave our kids curries, fish, whatever as babies and they developed their palates around this flavors. They turned into hideously picky toddlers, so we toned it down, but never switched to kid friendly beige food (aside from peanut butter). By elementary school they were all good eaters again. They won’t eat anything and have their things they refuse, but have diverse palates and very broad, healthy diets.  [/quote]
