Parent24 : Toddler 1-2 : care nutrition : Fruit eater or sweetie fiend?


 

Fruit eater or sweetie fiend?

Does your child live on fresh fruits and veg or does he insist on eating only sweets?

Fruit eater or sweetie fiend?

Feeding a toddler can be a constant uphill battle. When you find something they like it's often easier to just keep feeding them that thing than have them go hungry. But what if your child will only eat sweets?

We asked our Facebook users: Is your kid a fruit eater or a sweetie addict? These are their answers.

A sweetie addict! No food, just sweets and it's starting to stress my out... - Chantel Prinsloo

Both - certain fruits, like watermelon, grapes, mango and strawberries. - Cindy Jacobs

My 4 year old loves cucumber, tomatoes, watermelon and peaches. Now and then he'll ask for jellybeans/jellytots. - Doray Sass

He likes both but he's more fond of sweeties... - Veloshni Naidoo

My daughter loves fruit and my son loves sweets. - Chantal Muir

He likes both. Depends on his mood as to what he asks for. Although I found he prefers fruit more especially with summer fruits. - Fiona Crowley

My son loves sweets and my daughter loves fruits, yoghurt and her food. She definitely eats more than her brother and he is 6 and she is 19 months old. - Louise Carol Johst

Now it's your turn to share. Does your kid love fruit and veg or sweeties?
