My baby eats too much veggie?

Question

She barely eats meat, cheese and only eats the white egg. She loves her veggies and sometimes refuse to stop eating em.. im worried my baby lacks of protein/iron.. should i be giving multivitamin? Pls help

Answer

Consider yourself lucky. I can hardly get my child to eat a vegetable, I either have to sneak it in his food, or give him one of those veggie pouches with fruit in it also. 
He use to love them. But now he immediately spits it out now. I still put the veggie on his plate. I at least try.

Answer

If you’re still breastfeeding, you don’t need to do anything extra. Your milk will fill in the nutritional gaps. Some vegetables have more protein per calorie than meats. Some vegetables are also rice in iron. If she’s eating a variety of vegetables, I wouldn’t be too worried. You could also try introducing beans for protein. (If you offer canned beans, make sure to check the label for added sugar.) My son loves black beans and great northern beans!

That’s great! Veggies are packed with nutrients and do have protein. She’ll be fine (and very healthy :) )

Answer

My hubby would be jealous. All we ever hear is “eat your vegetables. What about the green trees?”.
Evelyn is a yogurt freak, seaweed chips and loves carbs. Other then that she won’t chew or swallow meat, fruit or veggies.

Answer

Hey Steph, that’s great that your kiddo is enjoying some foods. A pro tip from the dietitian and family therapy world is to let your kiddo decide how much to eat out of all the healthy foods you offer. So if that means seconds or thirds of the veggies, go for it. Check out Ellyn Satter Institute for more great feeding tips. It’s pretty common for kiddos to skip meat. Vegetable protein is a good alternative, but also keep offering it whenever you’re eating meat.

Answer

That’s soo good! My baby barely eats any vegetables. The only one she will happily eat are peas. She doesn’t even eat a lot of meat and despises eggs in all forms. If I were you I would be very content that at least your baby is getting the very good stuff in. Don’t worry, be happy!

Answer

There a lots of veggies with protein in them, try to explore adding those in. You could look into the grow shakes for toddlers. I do think you can start the multivitamin as well. I’ve been giving my daughter one because he big brother takes one and she doesn’t want to be left out!
