suggestions on baby not liking his baby vegtables?

Question

He will eat them but about three bites into the feeding he starts gagging and then refuses to eat any more any ideas to make this a less aggravating situtation

he is 9 mo. old

Answer 1

babies don't usually like veggies. keep trying different kind though, sometimes you'll find atleast one they like. and play airplane, that helps!

Answer 2

I did the fruit and veggie thing also, it usually works, but for my son it didn't. He loved the spinach, sweet potatoes,peaches, bananas, squash,carrots and pears, he would gag on everything else. Well guess what happened?????
One day my parents asked if he was jaundiced, and then I noticed he had a yellow tint to his skin, the doctor said it was from the natural yellow beta carotene in the foods that made his skin take on the yellow tint, not ot worry when he began to eat a variety of other foods it cleared up.
Try mixing 1 teaspoon of disliked veggie into 1 serving of a favorite one, this worked sometimes and not others.My son did better after I started giving him table food, I just cooked some separate for him without the seasonings and he loved it.

Answer 3

I always mix a little fruit with the baby food to sweeten them, or a little dab of brown suger. I know that they are supposed to develop a taste for the vegtables, but there is plenty of time for that. Whatever works!! Hope this was some help.

Answer 4

Have you tried not giving him the sweet fruit first. See if hell eat all of his veggies, then give him the fruit. usually the taste is so different to them. Babies love the sweetness so when there expecting to take another bite of fruit, there fooled by it being bitter veggies. Be patient though, he doesnt have to like everything. I believe my son was like that. alot of the veggies he didnt like. Now that hes 3 he loves veg. but gags when he eats any kind of fresh fruit. Its tough.
goodluck

Answer 5

Mix them with something he likes. If he gags, don't give him any more of that veggie. He has a right to not be forced to eat something that gags him.

Answer 6

try the Hawaiian delight start with the veggies then when he plays the gagging game a bite of the delight then go back to the veggies.

Answer 7

Mix them with some mashed potatoes. My son loved his veggies, but he had a bad gag reflex. The potatoes will help.

Answer 8

Im not sure if this is help but when I was little I began to love vegetables because my dad was telling me how dinosaurs like the brachiosaurus loved to eat vegetables like broccoli, which are like trees, and lettuce is like the jungle plants and stuff... Nowadays I dont really think much of it but it helped when I was younger.

Answer 9

Mix the veggie part with his fruit. Babies love sweetness. Mix it 2 parts fruit and 1 part veggie. As he gets use to that portion, maybe he will tolerate 2 part fruit 2 part veggie. Also, when you make his baby cereal, you can mix it with veggie and fruit baby food.

Answer 10

how old is he??? which ones have you tried? if you've only done one or two try some new ones.. or just keep trying with the ones your using sometimes it can take up to a week or so for a baby to get use to new flavors of food... at least thats how it was with my 7 month old neice... good luck

Answer 11

Don't force him to eat them. He will adapt to them as he gets older. There are other veggies out there you can subsitute for the ones he doesn't like. My son hated green veggies, and now he eats more green beans, and celery and peas than he ever did. He will be ok.. :)
