A. If your 1.5-year-old is not eating fruits, here are some strategies you can try to encourage them to incorporate fruits into their diet: ### Strategies to Encourage Fruit Eating: 1. **Offer Variety**: Try offering different types of fruits to see if there are any that your child prefers. Sometimes, it's a matter of finding the right texture or taste. 2. **Make it Fun**: Cut fruits into fun shapes using cookie cutters or create colorful fruit kabobs. 3. **Incorporate Fruits into Other Foods**: - Add small pieces of fruit to yogurt or cereal. - Blend fruits into smoothies. - Mix fruit purees into oatmeal or porridge. 4. **Lead by Example**: Eat fruits yourself and let your child see you enjoying them. Children often mimic their parents' eating habits. 5. **Consistent Offering**: Keep offering fruits regularly, even if your child initially rejects them. It can take multiple exposures for a child to accept a new food. 6. **Combine with Favorite Foods**: Pair fruits with foods your child already likes. For example, apple slices with peanut butter or banana with a bit of yogurt. 7. **Positive Reinforcement**: Praise your child when they try or eat fruits. Avoid forcing or pressuring them, as this can create negative associations with food. 8. **Texture and Temperature**: Some children might prefer fruits cold or at room temperature, or they may prefer pureed over whole pieces. Experiment to see what works best for your child. ### When to Seek Professional Help: - If you are concerned about your child's overall diet and nutrition, consider consulting a pediatrician or a pediatric dietitian. They can provide personalized advice and check for any underlying issues. Persistence and creativity are key. With time and patience, your child is likely to develop a taste for fruits.
