A. Eat a range of healthy foods yourself. Make sure that your own choices are in line with the foods you want your child to eat and enjoy. Prepare meals together. Having a hand in making the meal increases the chances that your child will taste her “creation.” Have your little one assist with measuring, pouring, or stirring. Avoid showing disgust or disinterest when trying new foods. A study found that mothers who showed (with their facial expressions, body language, or words) that they didn’t want to try a new food had children who also tended to refuse new foods Offer several healthy food choices—among the foods your child does like—at each meal. Gently but frequently offer new kinds of foods. Children need to be offered a new food as many as 10-15 times before they will eat it. Track your child’s food sensitivities and keep them in mind when preparing meals. Does your child have trouble with “mushy” foods? Then offer apple slices instead of applesauce, or a baked potato instead of mashed. If you’d like your child to try a “mushy” food, combine it with a crunchy food that she does like. Give her an animal cracker to dip in the applesauce. Talk to your child’s health care provider about any nutritional concerns you may have and try to run blood work to rule of deficiencies
