Re: baby that don't eat meat

could be a texture thing. my daughter hates most meats besides chicken and salmon, and i'm pretty sure it's the texture of other meats. she eats a ton of beans and other healthy foods containing protein and iron, so i don't worry too much about it.

Re: baby that don't eat meat

Hi there...please do not worry! My son just started to eat meat and he is almost 2 1/2. He hated it before too. He loves apples and just the other day refused it and I think we are in for many, many more changes in the future!

Re: baby that don't eat meat

I am an adult and I never liked meat including fish. Even when I was a toddler I hated the texture and taste of all meats. I have a 2.5 year old daughter now and she will not eat any meat either. She also doesn't eat much of anything at times. When she turned about 18 months she went into a picky phase and it has lasted a year so far. I just find a few things that she always likes such as cut up strawberries, organic Clif bars for kids, she also loves the organic fruit leather from Trader Joes and I give her Naked fruit juice. She likes to eat Greek or spanish rice if we are eating out, or cheesy broccoli soup, but she can change her mind the next day. I let her graze and find things she likes. Many kids are like this around this age.
