I have a 15 month old daughter. Need suggestions on getting her to eat. She is difficult! We are vegetarians.?


Question:
Extremely fussy - though she likes fruits (strawberries, bananas etc.). She is underweight for her age.

Answers:
Don't listen to those meat eating kooks who tell you that you're a bad parent for giving you child a humane diet. they're the same people who sue McDonald's for making them fat from eating big macs.
to get a little more nutrition into her, try putting spinach and soy (soy milk, or silken tofu) in a fruit smoothie with bananas, strawberries, and some orange or apple juice. you can also add broccoli florets, and she won't even taste any of it (unless you go crazy with the tofu). it's a great source of vitamins and protein, I drink them all the time before I work out. if you use frozen berries, it's kind of like a sorbet, and the banana adds a good texture too; more juice and it's more like a drink to enjoy with some cereal or pancakes.
my advice - be sneaky and remember, she may just need to be exposed to foods (see them, smell them, see you eat them, etc.) for a longer period of time before she tries them herself.

Other Answers:
Ok this is a very delicate situation
Let her eat but if she pushs food away MAKE SURE YOU DONT FORCE HER TO EAT MORE. That will cause a lifetime of weight problems. I promise you. The human body is designed to be hungray for what it needs not what is wanted. Babies and kids are unaware of that. It's just a natural thing. Try sauteed mushrooms and nicely textured foods. Take it from me. My aunt was in the exact shoes.


Your problem is very much common like the other kids of today. Feed your daughter whenever she is indulged in any activity or game of her interest. Dont force her and never throw tantrums. Meanwhile try homeopathic medicine which is safe and sweet too
