Baby's eating preferences...?

Is it normal for an 8 month old to like every baby food you give him?!?!?! He has his favorites like broccoli and chicken, sweet peas or spinach, he will gobble down faster but he will eat anything. When he first started eating baby food he didn't care for fruit too much, then when he started dinners around 6- 6 1/2 months he didn't really like any dinners that weren't just a meat and a veggie (like beef dumpling dinner for example) but he got over it fast. I am thinking its a good thing, he doesn't over eat. I just wondered because I see people asking questions saying their baby won't eat this or that. He is my first so I was just curious and wondering if I just lucked out.
Baby's eating preferences...?
Yes, it's normal, but you are still very lucky to have such a great eater! I have one also and everywhere I go, people marvel at the things he will eat. However, now at 13 months, I'm noticing that is changing....he does not like meats and has more of a preference for fruits over veggies. BUT, he is still a very healthy eater %26amp; will try anything once. The key also is to offer a variety of healthy foods and don't give up when your baby decides that they don't like something one day...the next day, they might like it. Best wishes!
Reply:My son is the same way. I have yet to find anything he doesn't like. I consider myself blessed!
Reply:you definetly lucked out!! if your child will eat some of those nasty tasting baby foods :) lol then you shouldnt have any problem getting him to eat his vegetables when he gets older! enjoy the fact that you dont have to say the " he wont eat this and this and this and this and only this if it has this and this to go along with it" congrats on such a good eater and good luck :)
Reply:They say that a child isn't born with preferences but learns them by watching others. Encourage a healthy, well rounded diet and don't let your kid see you turn up your nose at a food- especially a healthy one- and you're baby will thank you for life.
Reply:My 1st and 2nd kids were very fussy.....my daughter would only eat puddings from 4-6months!



My last baby though, is 8months old and he will eat anything......he doesn't even eat mashed stuff now he's moved straight to finger food. Luckily he has 6 teeth lol!



I reckon it's just luck ;o) Good eaters are fab!
Reply:Your baby is opposite mine. My 8 month old was crazy about the fruit baby food and nothing else. Then recently, about a month ago he got hooked on vegetables. Everything I give him, he eats. You just lucked out. I'm glad you don't have such a picky but voracious eater. Keep up the good work!
