Do you make your child eat funny things? Like you wouldn't eat?

I don't *MAKE* her eat anything she doesn't want to. I respect her choices, if she doesn't want to eat it, she isn't forced. I wouldn't want to be made to eat anything.

On the other hand, I do offer her food I don't like. Just because I don't like it doesn't mean she wouldn't. I think it's good to expose them to lots of different things. I do encourage her to try everything, and if she eats it then great, if not then oh well, maybe next time.
I find Jalna plain yoghurt disgusting, but Jazz loves it and I buy it just for her. Shel can't stand capsicum, but Jazz loves that too.

Well said I was just thinking people may think I was forcing DS to eat things but no. I agree with you Leasha, and I also don't *make* DS eat something he doesn't like but will offer stuff I won't eat.

(Snap with the Jalna )

I am the fussy eater of the world!!! But I do offer everything to DS1 that I am putting on DH plate.

DS1 will pick up things and sniff and/or put in mouth and often spits out things. I get him to eat vegies by cooking a lot in slow cooker as he seems to eat vegies if in a sauce.

Oh and Bloom I didn't think you were force feeding either

Put your cannellini beans in the food processor with natural yoghurt, a little garlic, and about 10 rosemary leaves, and you would eat it. I serve this all the time as a dip (OK, without the yoghurt, but only cos I don't eat dairy) and people love it.

You should serve it to your mum
