'Don't placate your kid. You're in charge. You're the one who's putting the meals on the table.'
," he suggested."Make sure you think it's tasty. Because if it's not tasty to you, then it's not going to be tasty to them! At six months they're able to process salt, and salt is flavor. Salt brings out all flavors of foods." While he cautions against going overboard in that category, a pinch here and there is more than enough.
Although it might not seem intuitive to parents, David recommends adding a little seasoning to baby food when you can."If you make steamed carrots and you purée it up, add some herbs and some cumin," he suggested."Cumin goes really well with carrots. Add a little bit of salt, some fat, and some oil."
David also recommended combining flavors like peas with mint or peaches with vanilla to kick up dinner time."You need to add herbs, you need to add spices," he said."You need to get these kids used to eating bolder foods. Then when they become toddlers, they won't be picky. They'll eat what you eat."ADVERTISEMENT
As for parents whose older kids are rotating between buttered noodles and chicken nuggets daily? Break the cycle ASAP. "You're placating your kid," he said."Don't placate your kid. You're in charge. You're the one who's putting the meals on the table. It might be hard for a couple of days and your kid won't eat. They're not going to starve, they'll eat it if they're hungry. Say something like, 'Sorry, no. We're eating a vegetable, plant-based [meal] tonight. You're eating this and this is what it's going to be.
