What to feed her!

Sounds like a sweet tooth lol. Does she eat potatoes if they are mashed up? I'm inclined to go the "hard" way but maybe there is a way to mash up some sweet veges (kumara, pumpkin) into her Watties fruit she might take that?

My younger sister didn't eat meat for a couple of years because she found the chewing not worth the effort. She still (at 22yrs) is fussy about certain chewy meats lol

I had this problem with Jacob, so what I did was I sneakily blended "our food" in with the tin stuff, started off with mash spud or rice or a bit of pasta, and gradually increased the quantity untill it was all "our food". Took a while, but worked fine. I still give him a tin occasionally, if I have been lazy, but when I do ur meals, I do enough for 2 meals for him. I do have a problem getting him to eat "our meat" so I have a supply of frozen casseroles, mince etc, that I freeze when we have had it to add to our veges for him, and I also use inghams chicken patties and lately he has been aeting sealord hoki fillets (one does 2 meals) that I just microwave for 4 minutes. Angel Bay burger paties are another good one, but I find they make for REALLY awfully smelly #2s and blow offs, so i only use in emergencies!
Jakes faves ae now silver beet, broccoli, and cauli.
Hope this helps!

Haha "Murphy" obviously thought you handled the boys too well

I wish I had some advice, but considering Maya is probably anaemic because she refuses to eat any meat except mince and those revolting cheerio sausages I'm probably not a great source of inspiration...

That said, she is a huge fan of mashed spud and will eat it by the plateful. Or how about something like cauli or broccoli with a cheese sauce - that way it will kind of resemble some of the things that come out of the Watties cans. Even maybe macaroni cheese but sneak some mixed veg into the mix.

I mix mixed veges into baked beans too for a lazy dinner for Maya sometimes.

eewww - those 1-3 cans are revolting - gabriel couldnt stand them.
i would prob either mix your food in with them or just start offering her other food and if she doesnt eat it then tough. (well maybe a piece of fruit if you are worried.) at that age she should be getting into the hang of family meals and if she knows you'll just give her a can if she doesnt eat it shen she wont eat.

have you tried pasta - the boys love it just on its own or with a bit of cheese on top, noodles are another fave here - messy but it gets mostly eaten...sausages as finger food - cut lengthways, meatballs... my boys generally dont eat much meat either and mashed veges are a no go with them too - its funny tho cause when they are babies thats all they eat.
