my kids ate apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, carrots and celery, and other fresh fruits and veggies. just like i did when i was a kid--and still do.
As you know then, kids are all about texture. And kids also go through picky phases. I give my kid fruit and he hates it, I give him this stuff and he loves it. If that's the only way to get fruits and veggies at the moment so be it.
There is a point where some fruits are more dangerous than others to give a toddler, such as grapes.
I made a lot of purees with a hand mixer. On the weekend I would batch cook and bulk freeze a lot of different purees before they could have solid food.
You don't have to use everything fresh, you can use frozen fruits/veggies and even do Passata - Strained Tomatoes no salt added. We had concerns about the level of salt in premade foods so we made our own on the weekend and froze it all in ice trays then put it in zip locks. Low sodium lentil soups are ok too.
It ended up being a lot cheaper just to spend an hour on the weekend batch cooking for the kid and batch cooking for lunches to take to work.
Finally I got a little plastic masher and used that, as soon as they were old enough do it themselves. They wouldn't eat anything they mashed at first but they loved playing with it.
Now they just grab apples and other fruit straight from the fridge.
Our doctor said not to give them juice or fruit packs at all. The doctor did say chocolate milk mixed with regular milk is a good treat that's safe and hydrating tho.
The difference between your reply and the one I reacted to is that you didn't lecture anyone on how to do a job they did never do themselves. You told us how you raised your kids in a strictly anecdotal manner.
I don't have an issue with not using those fruit packets or something. I have an issue with random people lecturing parents about how they should just parent more because it's so easy...
Are the kids stealing the drinks?
