Quick Question!
How do you Mamas and Papas feel about "sneaking" unliked foods into foods baby will tolerate? For instance, hiding an "undesirable" food underneath a "yummy" food. As a researcher and Mama, I go back and forth. On the one hand, I want my baby to have the best nutrition possible, and I want him to have plenty of exposure to new foods. I also know that it can take up to 15 exposures to a food before baby warms up to it. If baby won't expose himself, sometimes I want to take it upon myself to expose him. On the other hand, how is baby supposed to consciously begin enjoying a food if he doesn't know he is being exposed? I want him to learn to make healthy choices on his own, and I don't think sneaking healthy foods in will accomplish that goal. What do you think? I would really love to hear your opinions on this topic! Peace and love, TheFreethinkingMama
