A. Hello parent, Keep offering a new food. It can take 10-15 tries (or even more) for children to become familiar with, accept and enjoy new foods.Put a small amount of new food on the plate with familiar food your child already likes – for example, a piece of broccoli alongside some mashed potato.Show your child how you explore food – for example, touching, smelling or licking.Make food attractive and fun. Offer your child a variety of different colours, shapes and sizes, and let your child choose what they eat from the plate.Serve your child the same meal the family is eating but in a portion size your child will eat.Offer different foods from each of the 5 food groups. For example, if your child doesn’t like cheese, they might enjoy yoghurt instead.
