There are so many things that I've worried about as my DS has grown and reached new stages and looking back I think why did I stress? It sorted itself out! BUT, now I'm fretting over my DS eating or rather NOT eating his veges.
Because I have the time, I offer all homemade fresh meals to DS and have tried 'hiding' veges in things with a little bit of success and DH and I sit to eat our meals with him to show him that mummy and daddy like to eat veges, but he just refuses to eat any vegetables! I watch other kids munching on cucumber and carrot sticks with envy. When he was on purees he ate everything I gave him but now so much good food is wasted and I feel bad that he's not getting the nutrition he needs as an active 21 month old.
He eats everything else, yoghurt, cheese, fruit, crackers, pasta (if it's plain), milk, fish and chicken etc but just not vegetables!
So I guess my question is...should I worry about this? Is it just a phase and he'll start eating them later? Has anyone with toddlers older than mine been through this but now has a vege-eating child?
