my babys eating is it normal?

Question

my baby will only eat vegetables (i shouldnt really complain) and super noodles and potaoes is this normal

Answer 1

Eating lots of veg is obviously ok, but they may not be getting all the nutrients that s/he needs from the rest of his/her diet. Whatever age they are, always put a small amount of something on their plate that they have never tried before and encourage them to eat it. If actually eating it is a prob get them to touch and smell it, then put the same thing on the plate every night for a week. At some point, especially if encouraged to try it in a positive way, they will try a little bit. Sometimes they like it sometimes they don't. The point is that if they have something they like on their plate they are going to feel inquisitive about this new food, not pressured into eating something they really don't necessarily want to eat. This is the best way I have found to introduce new foods into any toddlers diet. My four year old will recite to you our mantra, "Try it and if I don't like it I can leave it. But I Have to try it!"
Try to get them off the super noodles, not altogether, but to a max of once or twice a week. From what I have seen they are very high in salt and artificial whatevers, and that obviously is not good for a growing wee one.
Good Luck with your experimenting and don't give up.
A little tip - Sandwiches in our house get turned into Bats, teddy bears, stars and at the moment especially, Christmas figures. Use your cookie cutters to make food more interesting!

Answer 2

My husband and I took care of his nephew from the time he was 18 months till he was almost 3. In all that time the only things he would eat were mashed potatoes, noodles, chicken nuggets, pizza and mac-n-cheese. There was NO way to get him to eat anything else. So yeah, I'd say it's pretty normal.

Answer 3

nothing wrg with that try to make sure hes getting some fruit juice and milk he should be doing good. Most childern dont like eating meat u can make up for that with peanut butter. Meat has iron but veggies have most of it so as long as he is eating alot of veggies and juice and milk sounds like a healthy kid.

Answer 4

How old? If over a year old then he's not really a baby. What are super noodles????

Answer 5

super noodle isn't really great for kids.... salt in it too high.. as for the veg thing don't worry 2 of my boys loved them as babies but one is now 12 n would throw up before he would put one in his mouth (he thinks baked beans is enough) my baby daughter loves all fruit n veg!!! its the different textures the go for trying making mince n mash potatoes but hold the salt..

Answer 6

It is normal. The only thing I'd be worried about is your baby's protien intake. Talk to your doctor about ways to get protein into him and keep trying to introduce new foods.

Answer 7

Yeah its normal just that some babies are picky eaters, keep offering new foods though you baby will soon come around.

Answer 8

Some babies are picky eaters. Just keep offering new foods so he/she has variety, your baby will come around eventually. Best of luck!

Answer 9

If he/she likes them and eats them its normal. Well done on introducing your baby to the healthy options - you should be proud of yourself - well done :-) xx

Answer 10

how old is he/she? They all go throught phases and I suppose they have their preferences just like we do. as long as he/she is eating and eating good food, I wouldn't worry too much yet.
