17 months and start to dislike eating rice..

[echua]

Hi all mummies and daddies,

My 17 months old boy recently start to dislike to ear rice/porridge. Whenever he eat, he only eat like 3 - 5 spoon and then don't want eat already. Given him with gravy or soup he also don't want.

Any mummies or daddies can suggest what to give him? Thanks

Did you just feed your toddler rice and porridge?
Try to be creative in the choices of food.
I have been giving her macaroni, baked pasta with cheese, noodles (my girl particularly like udon and 'lao shu fen').

My girl loves soup, especially those herbal type. So usually with a bowl of rice, i will give her chicken herbal soup or ABC soup and she is happy to eat on her own. Sometimes she eats little but I am fine as she will still take her milk and she sleeps well (average 10-12 hours of sleep, including daytime naps).

I like exploring with my girl as I am trying to avoid having a picky eater.

Happy exploring and let your boy try on different texture of food. At 17 months old, he definitely has a lot more teeth than before.

I'm with you. My daughter does not take until now. 4 years old. For about 1 yr she is on bee hoon. Then we upgrade to brown rice bee hoon then tried to change to macroni. Recently she is ok w rice porridge. But we added a trick... a small piece of her favourite yoghurt biscuit. It's not good I know but is the most effective way to get her to eat.
