HI,


Have a 3 yrs old son . He eats his meals properly but the problem is he refuses to eat any fruits . When he was a lil baby he used to eat bananas and oranges very nicely, but now even if i get a fruit for him he starts crying and throwing a tantrum.


Help !!! I want my son to have some fruits and cannot get him to do that

Try disguising the fruits. Like sliced bananas in a peanut butter sandwich or a yummy fruit shake with a small dallop of ice cream. I used to do this with my nephew and it worked wonders. Also try banana chips for a different texture instead of mushy bananas. Hope it helps and good luck!!

You can puree them and mix them with ground beef and make meat balls. Don't FORCE him or it becomes a battle.


Another idea is to get an ice cube tray and cut up a lot of different things and put them in the tray. Let him choose what to eat. Make the pieces in fun different shapes. Try frozen bits of fruit too.


Good luck...and he knows that this is a battle so let him 'win' for a bit...then try again. During this time, eat lots of different fruits yourself, and make lots of yummy noises. Don't offer ANY to him at all. Put them in muffins, cakes, on cereal etc. It's likely he'll start asking for them once the pressure is off.
