ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist3 years agoA. Dear parent, its common children can be picky eaters till 5-6 years.
set a positive example for your child, by having all healthy foods. create a conducive environment for building healthy eating habits.
offer choice between two fruits or vegetables any one of which you may want her to try.
yourself eat the fruit that you want her to try and explain its texture, flavour to the kid and ask whether she would like to give it a try
don't be pushy but be gently encouraging
remember it's a phase it will pass
baby can be fussy eaters. they may eat only one type of food and suddenly even stop eating that.
so you have to be persistent and keep trying.
