i will never not ever eat fruit

With apologies to Charlie & Lola !!!!

Yes, we had another fruit refusal today. I stewed Naomi some apple so that it would be soft for her to gum but it still wasn't enough. So that's apple, apricot, raspberry and mango she has refused to eat in the original state. I'm running out of ideas! She can't JUST eat bananas! To be fair she did have pureed apricot mixed into her porridge and she ate stewed apple in her porridge for Daddy yesterday. So we'll continue the subterfuge and hope she'll get the idea of proper fruit soon. Maybe it will come with teeth, I don't know.

Another good dinner; her cold doesn't seem to be giving her appetite any problems at the moment. She had baked potato, baked sweet potato and then steamed broccoli, carrot and cauliflower. We were having jackets & sausages so she had an organic sausage and the remaining Port Salut cheese for her protein. DH picked up a chicken today so we will roast that for dinner tomorrow and then I'll have plenty of meat for the rest of the week. Roast meat seems to go down the best, even in reheated form.

She's not off her milk, despite being poorly, and neither is she throwing it back up, so we are happy bunnies at the moment.

Have you tried mixing two fruits togehter, Lesley? C would not accept furit at first if it was on it's own. Mix a bit of apple in with the banana and increase the ratio gradually until she accepts apple on it's own etc.

Apologies if you've already tried this!
