Offer new foods when you and your toddler are relaxed and your toddler isn’t too tired or distracted by other things.Set a time limit of about 20 minutes for a meal. If your toddler hasn’t eaten the food, calmly take it away. Don’t offer an alternative snack or meal. Just offer regular drinks of water until the next snack or mealtime.Avoid bribing your toddler with treats just so they’ll eat some healthy food. This can make your toddler more interested in treats than healthy food and sends the message that eating healthy food is a chore.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.Serve your toddler the same foods as the rest of the family. If your toddler sees you eating the food, they’re more likely to try it. They’ll also get the nutritional benefits of a wide range of foods, and accept new tastes and textures as part of your family’s eating routine.Offer new foods with foods that your toddler already knows and likes.
