Bakit ganun doc nung under 1 year old si baby, sobrang mahilig po siya sa gulay and fruits, pero ngayong toddler biglang umaayaw na sa ibang gulay na dating gusto naman niya? how do we reintroduce it?

It's quite common for the young ones to become picky eaters lalo na po when they become toddlers. Also, madali na rin po silang madistract with their environment kaya as much as possible, less distractions sana while eating. As mentioned earlier po, provide a wide variety of options for the kid po, yung sila po yung papapiliin nyo para ma-engage sila, not a yes or no question po. Involve them more on the preparation or cooking process para they “Experience” the food more and will be familiar to them. It will also be helpful po kung nakikita nung bata that the adults are eating the same vegetables and fruits for them to be encouraged to eat it as well.
