At first, she may just eat the sweet stuff, but she'll quickly learn that it won't fill her up and will begin eating the healthful items on her plate. If your little one limits herself to just a few types of food, and you want to introduce new food, then experts recommend starting out with a tablespoon of the new food, not a hearty helping - unless she just goes gaga for the new food. Offer the new food with the standard fare, and don't make a huge deal about it. Likewise, if the new food is ignored, don't give up. Keep serving the food every once in awhile, increasing the amount as interest and consumption increases. It may take 10 to 15 times of being exposed to a certain food before a toddler even tries it, so don't give up!
