10 Solid Foods Your Baby Might Not Like

Posted on 26 March 2010

Teaching your baby to eat solid foods is lots of fun. You can see faces from giggling to outright anger. There are some foods for your baby which might have them turning their heads away in disgust. Here are 10 solid foods your baby might not like.

1. Broccoli is one food which many babies turn their nose up to. Even with the broccoli as a pureed variety in baby food, many babies want nothing to do with it. Whether it is the smell or the texture, it does not matter, they just do not want it.

2. Rice cereal is one of the first solid foods your Doctor may recommend. It is another one of the solid foods your baby may hate. They might spit, splutter, and make horrible sounds.

3. Some babies love carrots, other babies think they are the worst thing on the planet.

4. Another of the solid foods your baby might not like are the baby food meat products. They look like paste, and have the consistency of paste. If your baby, do not be surprised.

5. Cheerios, or other small cereal treats could be one your baby dislikes. You will see other parents dishing out Cheerios to their baby and they gobble them down, then the next baby throws them on the floor.

6. Pureed Prunes are very healthy for your baby, especially if they are having a little constipation. Adults have mixed feelings about prunes, and it could easily be one of the foods your baby turns their head away from.

7. Do you love spinach? Does everyone in your family love spinach? Your baby will determine their own tastes, and since spinach is one of those foods we either love or hate, expect a big reaction one way or the other.

8. Mashed potatoes seem so smooth to our tongues, and sometimes feel so strange to your baby’s tongue. They might not like mashed potatoes for several tries, and then suddenly change their mind.

9. Putting a pile of green peas in front of your baby can be an adventure in cleaning. They will either go in the mouth, or your baby will decide it is better to watch them roll on the floor.

10. What is it about green vegetables? Green beans are another of those foods your baby may devour from day one, or will be one of the solid foods your baby screams about.

The important thing to keep in mind with any of the solid foods your baby might not like, it can change in an instant. What they hate today could be the one they love tomorrow. Just because you have one or two bad meals, do not hesitate to try again. You will learn over time which solid foods to offer, and which ones to avoid. As you will quickly learn, your baby has a mind of their own, and will dictate the foods they want. Their palate is just as individual as yours.
