Refused mashed banana for a month. Tonight he took raw onion off my plate and asked for more

He's one and a half and has rejected every gentle, sensible food we've offered. Banana, stewed apple, plain dal, all spat out with a look of betrayal. Tonight I was having curd rice with sliced onion on the side. He grabbed a piece, ate it, pulled a face like he'd been insulted, and then held his hand out for another. Three pieces. My partner just kept saying 'raw onion?' 😂

      Babies lunge at your plate because it's yours. Ours ignored food in his own bowl and fought for the identical food on mine. Put his portion on your plate and see what happens.

    This made my night. Our daughter went through a phase of only eating things with some sourness or bite to them. Anything plain got thrown. A squeeze of lemon on her dal changed everything. Try a little onion or a proper tadka in his dal next time ❤️
