A member asked:

My almost 11 month old refuses to eat baby food (purity). she loves fruit so i give her that most of the time, she also hates cooked veggies, probably because it's all mashed. what food can i give her, as my mom looks after her during the week?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Some basics: Infants often love fruits because they are sugary & interesting. If you want to program her brain to expect sugary feeds let her dictate that choice. She will pay a price for that later. Veggies are more nutritious & can be interesting if you feed her at the table when everyone else is enjoying them.
