    Does she like omelette? My daughter is a fusspot and anything is more fun than eating but I've got a few new tastes into her that way - tomato puree, courgette chunks, various herbs, quorn bacon. I cut the omelette into fingers as she prefers food she can eat with her hands.
    She LOVES macaroni cheese and would eat it at every meal if I let her. I have got lots of veg into her that way and now she cries if she gets 'macaroni-no-carrot'. The ones she really won't touch - sweetcorn - I will blend into the cheese sauce.
    I think weaning is tough. I am past weaning, my battle now is to get some (any!) food into a madcap toddler without her realising we are in a battle! Some children are easier than others and I say do whatever gets you through it when it's really tough and when you can face mini battle have them then.

    My boys loved avocado, fromage frais and banana mushed up together. It looks like a blended frog but went down well.
  • Why not try going back a stage or two to when she was happier to eat whatever you gave her? If she is getting the protein, minerals and vitamins from the milk you give her, can I suggest you take things at her speed.

    Im just going to work with her so she continues to eat what she will eat willingly at the moment and I am going to try the new foods people have suggested to me in the jar and if she spits it out, Ill follow up with something she will eat like toast or custard etc.....then try again at a different time. She is doing okay, I think I'm worrying over nothing now since all of these replies. I think we're doing our best and she will move onto newer tastes when she's ready!
