My daughter only likes fruits. I try to put veggies in with some fruit baby food but she screams. Or she will gag and throw up. She has a long history with not able to eat by mouth and then only tiny bits of pregestimil. She don't take a bottle, cup, or anything by mouth to help with other choices. She is almost 10 months and eats from her g-tube 16 hrs a day. Do u think those feeds are good enough nutrition? I am really working on trying to free us from the g-tube more so i want her to eat more food during the day. She eats 2-3 jars of fruit a day. I add scandi, CIB, and butter to her food to add calories. She needs 1000 - 1100 cal's a day. She eats bread and butter like crazy too. Any idea's with a picky baby/toddler?

DS did that with certain veggies -- his daycare SWORE he knew if there was the tiniest pea in his ground up stew or casserole. He did best with the orange food group except for carrots -- sweet potato & corn, squash. He also like some of the baby food meats and mac and cheese. Like oatmeal and pears but HATED rice cereal and regular oatmeal. Also loved yogurt. I tended to feed him the same stuff over and over that I knew he liked.
He also hated pregestimil, but did fine with other formula, but still had a bit of bottle aversion. Best times to feed him when he was really sleepy.

My dd never ate baby food at all. We had to go to feeding clinic and she eventually started eating very soft regualar fruits and veggies.
I would try not to get too worked up over it. SHe is getting good nutrition between the g-tube and the vitamins. Focus on getting her quantity in general up, if its with fruits instead of veggies, why fret? She'll get what she needs in the big picture and that is what matters.

i would suggest taking advantage of the only fruit thing while you can. my son doesnt eat to much of it now. how about giving her the fruit dip along with it. i know that stuff is fattening. you can find it where you find the fruit platters at the supermarket. i also gave my son cream cheese sandwhiches he loved them or i would just scoop it on a spoon and let him eat it off that. babies love to explore and make a mess. try and let her play with finger foods. bananas are great they can mush it all up and eat it. i know its frustrating when their picky my son went thru it too. i didnt force it and i would take advantage of it when i knoew he was hungary and try to get as much in as i could. i will finish with this, aidan went thru a time when i thought he was getting full and it would hold him over for hours before he wanted to eat again. we had him tested on a few things one i will mention is his Zinc was low and apparently Zinc does amazing things for the appetite and when we started giving him it thru a prescription OMG the difference was amazing and he gained weight. just a suggestion you might want to ask the nutritionist about. good luck
