You may need to offer an individual food 10 times or more before your baby will choose to eat it. However, around half of parents only persist 2–3 times before giving up on that food altogether.
Parents may be fussy eaters too
Children learn behaviours from their parents. Research indicates that while 25–50 per cent of toddlers are fussy eaters, around 25 per cent of them have parents who admit to being fussy eaters too.
If you restrict yourself to a narrow range of foods, your child will notice and copy your wariness. Don’t limit your child’s food variety to only those foods you prefer. It may be that your child’s tastes are different to yours and perhaps you are simply serving them foods they don’t happen to like.
