I also added different flavours of juice, colourful fruits and veggies etc. I had good success with butternut squash and raspberries although I think the mango purée was the one that made them realise salad =yummy

I would start forcing greens/veggies in her mouth. Get really stiff veggies like sliced squash, green beans, bell pepper and collards. Cut then into thin strips and wiggle them between her lips. Hopefully that will help her understand that she can eat veggies/greens. The collards might be a bit harder to force but if you use a piece of leaf with a bigger vein you should be able to do it.

When kazi was younger I had to literally throw his salad all around his viv and he would go aroud 'cleaning' it up. After a few months he started throwig it around himself and then going after it. Now, I just leave it in little piles around his viv in the hope he will follow the little piles to his salad bowl!

Thanks again

MissT":1d0fn4i7 said:Hmm maybe try orrering the baby food and as soon as she opens her mouth pop some greens in there. Out of curiosity what greens are you using?
