In daily life, when parents ask if their babies like to eat vegetables, nine out of ten say they don't eat them, and half say they are forced to eat them. Why is this happening? Just find out the reasons why your baby doesn't like to eat vegetables, and you can prescribe the right medicine to help your baby correct their habit of not eating vegetables. So, how to make vegetables that babies love to eat?
There are many reasons why babies don't like to eat vegetables. Plants have a lot of fiber and are difficult to chew. Vegetables have a lot of fiber, and babies may feel that they will vomit when chewing, so they won't eat them. The taste of vegetables is also not very good. Compared with the sour and sweet taste of fruits and the aroma of meat, the taste of vegetables is not good. Therefore, if more fruits are added when adding complementary foods, many babies will be picky eaters and refuse to eat vegetables.
Secondly, let the baby love to eat vegetables. Parents choose brightly colored vegetables, and the baby likes things with bright colors. Mothers can choose some dark colored vegetables and cook them as soft and tender as possible. This way, the baby can eat them slowly without having to chew too much, so that the baby can better accept vegetables.
Finally, add vegetables instead of fruits. Many parents believe that when adding food supplements, they will add fruits first for their babies. If the baby receives sweet and sour fruits for the first time, it will be difficult for them to accept juicy vegetables. Therefore, the order of addition must be to first add vegetables that the baby does not like, and then add sweet and sour fruits, which can reduce the chance of the baby not liking vegetables.
Parents can try changing the vegetable pattern to do this for their babies, such as pressing vegetables into juice to cook, or cooking vegetables and fruits together, or cooking vegetables and meat together, etc. After the change, they believe that babies will always eat vegetables.
