How much water and is yoghurt necessary?

I agree with the girls, and wanted to add, with my DS1 I would offer foods for a few days, and see how he went, and if they were rejected, I would give up on them, and try again in a few weeks. Sometimes, he would just lap them up the next time I offered, in the same way they will reject foods that they have eaten happily for months. Kids and food It will drive you crazy if you let it.

I agree with rufalina too, just keep offering. My DD didn't like pumpkin from the day we introduced it to her as a baby and it was only last week she ate it! (She is 2.5 y.o.) I read somewhere that it can take up to 10 times of offering a particular food to a child before they will even try it. Sometimes it is a textural thing too - DD doesn't really like mushrooms, but chopped finely will eat it.

My little guy wasn't drinking water either, I don't think he quite got the idea of tipping the sippy cup up. I bought him a cup with a straw (with a valve so it doesn't come out too fast) and now he drinks all day long. Maybe something like that might help (if you haven't already tried it that is).

Thanks for all the replies - think just needed the reassurance - as all bubs in my MG are doing puree and yoghurt seems to be a main stay of their diet, and is always like oh dear when I say she won't eat it (although she does eat at least 10x more foods than them - including prawns and flesh from moreton bay bugs on the weekend ). I actually feel kind of left out because always talking about the types of baby food they like etc and I have nothing to add because CJ hasn't tried any of that stuff only normal food and they just don't seem interested in BLS.

Oh and she drank a fair bit of water today - is pretty hot so maybe the other days just wasn't thirsty. I haven't tried a cup with a straw yet SareBear - I might get one at some point but she likes water out my sports bottle better than anything else (Maybe if I carry round a sippy cup and drink out of that all day she will want to copy me and start using that )
