How to get your child to eat more fruit

Or vegetables. Or whatever else you would like them to eat.

 

First step:

 

Have another child.

 

Second step:

 

Let aforementioned second child age to the point where they can eat purees (for Kate this age was 6 months)

 

Third step:

 

Buy 1st foods fruit and vegetable purees

 

Fourth step:

 

Feed new child these purees. Watch your older child salivate over the food you are feeding the baby, even though before they wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole.

 

Fifth step:

 

So the older child feels included, give them their own jar of whatever the baby is eating and let them feed themselves.

 

Sixth step:

 

Feel good knowing you “tricked” your child into eating more fruits and vegetables.
