My girl is 8 months. All she now likes is fruit. Doesn't matter which fruit, as long as it's fruit. she used to like sweet potatoes and carrots but now hates all veggies and turns the nightly feeding session into a tug-o-war. She NEEDS veggies and protein foods but she won't eat them. I don't know what to do, I'm at my wits end. I shouldn't have started her on fruit. She's still nursing. If it wasn't for the milk she wouldn't eat anything of substance. Any tips to get her to eat other things besides fruits. Should I just mix things with fruit to get her to eat? TIA.

do not mix them that masks the problem its not solving it my baby was fussy but eats everything i give her now i know haw frustrating it is what i would do is offer a small amount of veg each time if she refuses give her fruit you have to offer it each meal and it will click. You sometimes have to offer a food up to 30 time before some babies eat it (that came from my doc)and i found it to be true so offer the veg as if its a fun texture try not to think of it as food so you don't get stressed make it fun.you could also put a blob of veg puree on her tray and let her explore it just don't mix trust me you will just be making a new problem

Gerber makes pears and chicken and apples and chicken. So she can get her protein and I they also have apples and sweet potato's. My son really likes squash try that one too. Just try mixing the veggies with a little fruit and than use less and less fruit.

You just ansered your own qauesions mix the fruit up with a little bit of veggies and see if that works also you can add a spoon of sugar to the veggies because if you ever tasted that stuff you will know it is really nasty....goodluck

Try not to stress yourself out. If you are breastfeeding her, she is getting what she needs from you. Alot of kids are breastfed until they are around two. The health department wanted to give me formula and I refused. My daughter grew up fine and is not overweight. Just nurture yourself so that you are making good milk and try not to worry.
