My push to mix in new foods by reading picture books about trying fruits and veggies didn’t budge my toddler’s list at all. She still circles back to the same three things every meal, no matter how many stories we finish first about curious eaters. I pulled out our old favorites like “Bread and Jam for Frances” hoping the character would spark something, but it just led to requests for more jam on toast.
Is it worth the effort to keep experimenting here, or should we just live with the safe foods for now?
