#asktheexpert Mine chid is least interested in trying new varieties of food.How can I introduce to new foods n vegetables

A. Introduce new foods with old favorites. Seeing a favorite on your child's plate makes the new food less scary. Plus, if they choose not to try the new food they will still have something to eat. Offer without pressuring. Toddlers are headstrong, so allow your child to decide whether or not to try a new food. Encourage them to try it without forcing them. Offer a small portion. Put a little bit of each food on your child's plate, telling them what it is. A small spoonful of a new food is less overwhelming than a big helping. If your child likes it, you can always give them more.
