No Veggies

I have a big headache. Don't know how to get you to eat your veggies. The only time you'd take your veggies is when it's all cooked together with your moi-moi. Even then, you'd sometimes take a look at the porridge and say "Got beh-ggie wor", hoping that we'd remove the veggies. But usually Ah Ma will just sat "Eat it!" and you'd eat it without more fuss.

When it comes to dinner, where you'll eat rice and the same dishes that we eat, you'd flatly refuse to eat the veggies. You used to love the cabbage and now you refuse to eat them. Even fruits have become a no-no. You used to love the pears and apples and we could not bring out the fruits until you've finished with your rice, since you'd refuse the rice if you saw the fruits. Now, you won't eat the fruits and on Sunday you held on to the apple for a very long time (after being forced to at least eat one slice) before finally eating it. No form of persuausion or threat could make you eat more.

Daddy tried to introduce new fruits to you. But this is what he got:

P/S: Just got you to pose for this picture.

It's a phase. Bryan also rejected vege when we moved fr porridge to rice. Now he is slowly taking them back, but he still stay away fr leafy greens. Even 1 tiny bit, he will take it out.

Just have to continue to try give him and hope he will take it one day....

As for fruits, when i wan him to eat more, i will cut it into fancy shapes. Sometimes it works, sometimes don't..

Yeah! It's a phase. Dwayne refused it until Dr Mary said he had to take it or he will get blood in his stools again. I think he understood what Dr Mary said as when I said you want blood in your poo poo? he will say no, and he will eat the vege, of course with a sad looking face. try to give bayam and other softer vege like fried timun or labu, try to avoid hard and funny-taste vege, like kailan or bitter gourd. It will only scare them more.
