Encouraging your baby to try different types of food is really a great way to get them to enjoy healthy food, which is important. The best way to do this if you are ready for jar food is to use a food grinder, this way your baby can eat whatever you are eating. This is something I have talked about in previous posts, because I think it is important.
Babies like to eat what the people around them are eating, toddlers are the same way. If your baby is used to eating fruits and veggies, fish and grilled chicken (just an example) they develop a taste for this.
In my case, Alex actually makes requests for asparagus, peppers and squash when we are grocery shopping. He is allowed sweets, as I think it is important not to cut it out completely because it can cause them to only want them. Overall Alex would choose fruit over candy, and eats veggies as a snack!
It is something to try to start out with when they are babies so they develop a taste for it, and it really can be worth it!
