my 2yr old daughter doesnt like any fruit. be it apple, orange, grapes, pomegranate, papaya, chiku, pear, plum. pls suggest to make her eat fruits. i have tried in pureed form and also fruit custard. but no luck Shalu replied. Hi Anoushka,

Try giving her a smoothie. I take in banana as the base and mix fruits along with a tbsp curd. She is loving it. Make tiny pieces of fruits and put it on her plate and leave her. My daughter experimented the first few days now she has started eating with two fingers. Keep trying, don' t give up.

If your daughter is not eating fruits but is eating something like other foods (roti, etc) then you can hide fruits in there. Like you can hide apples (finely cut, you may remove skin) into roti flour and then make rotis. Sure it will taste strange but she may eat it.
Trying baking cake with lots of fruit, that will be good too.

Also try fruit juices (freshly made) without adding too much water.

Tell me how it goes. All the best

You can cut the fruits into different shapes like square, circle etc and then teach about the shapes and try to make her eat. Call home some friends who have same age kids and give those kids some fruits, seeing them she will also start to eat. myson replied. take him to any play area..outside home and while he is playing u can feed him...fruits r some thing which can be given when the child is playing//
