RE: JAPANESE BABY WEANING METHOD: Introducing the equipment
I need to figure out how to get my baby to eat vegetables... she tried something sweet and now it is impossible to get her to eat stuff that is good for her! Ugh... the trials of parenting! :)
babies have moods tho. What she might dislike today, she might love tomorrow! Just keep offering plenty of healthy and nutritious food! And whatever you do, don't add sugar into anything if you don't want them to start liking sweets! You can go for the sweeter veggies perhaps? Corn, Pumpkins and squash or fruits! All just as healthy and packed full of fiber and vitamins.
try adding a little sugar to the veg. Over time take the sugar out. It should condition her to associate the taste of the veg with the sweet reward.
(Also, fresh organic veg tends to have a much higher sugar content. I don't want to make assumptions about your veg source, so I bracket this. But it would be interesting, if only from an experimental POV, to offer store bought vs home grown veg and see what a child reaches for :) )
From my own experience, you can decorate the veggie dish to make it more attracting, make the cute faces, fun shapes for example, I hope it will help :)
