Re: Re: not sure what to feed my kid

,

I made this today, and it was delicious despite it being very basic. I pealed,

seeded, and cut into small chunks a butternut squash. I cut cube steak into

tiny, child's bite sized pieces, and threw them both in a pot with homemade beef

broth. I simmered it literally all day long. By the time we ate it, everything

was super soft. The meat was actually just as soft and tender as ground beef

would be. The butternut squash did still hold its shape. Maybe you could use

this for him since he loves soup.

Re: not sure what to feed my kid

No, he LOVES vegetables -- just not pureed and he likes meat, as

long as it's not ground (ie: will not eat hamburger/meatloaf --

won't touch a chicken nugget). He will only eat chicken or turkey

breast or drumsticks. He basically won't eat anything in a form

where anything can be mixed in (because he wants to make sure

nothing is mixed in). He loves soup if he can see all the

vegetables, but not pureed soups like butternut, pumpkin or split

pea.

He's actually not a picky eater in the typical sense. I used to

call him my " gourmet child. " He loves exotic dishes and spicey

ethnic foods, never cared for the typical kids fare of nuggets and

fries.

Is it possible to do the intro diet and then just do meat and

legal/cooked fruits for a time and then add in cooked whole

vegetables?

Hi ,

I don't know why you couldn't go ahead and let him have the cooked vegetables

the way he likes them. It might be optimal to puree veggies for *some* kids....

for a couple of different reasons.

One is that many kids don't chew well....and they end up with big chunks of

undigested food just passing all the way through. The other is that for some

kids, we NEED to hide the veggies, because they are like the opposite of your

son... unwilling to eat them whole at all... and they have to be blended into

things like sneaky pancakes and chicken cupcakes.

The most important thing will be peeling and cooking everything. Of course, you

might have to remind him to chew, chew, chew.... for best results. But, I'd

go ahead and have both cooked fruits and cooked veggies on the menu.
