Top Tips for Picky Eaters

Posted on Aug 21, 2010 in Tips

When it comes to picky eating, we’ve all been there as a mom. Infants and young children question any and every food we hand them at meal time, but they don’t think twice about putting a handful of dirt or play dough in their mouths.

You can still give your children the nutrition they need without the struggle. Make meal time easier with Poppy Clementine’s simple tips.

Start Early: If you are the mommy of a newborn or infant, start introducing healthy foods early. While a can of baby food may say “Veggie Melody” it does not mean it is the best thing for your baby. Look at the labels of your baby food to make sure your child is getting real food, not chemically processed vegetables with tons of sodium. A good rule for fruit and vegetable baby food is that if you will not eat it, then why expect your child to eat it.

Simply put, if the jar of mashed peas taste foreign and gross to you, then the chances of your child liking peas in the future is lessened. The best thing to do is to make your own baby food by steaming vegetables and mushing them in a food processor or blender. This is a lot healthier for your baby and gets their taste buds accustomed to what real vegetables taste like. Organic and natural baby food can be used as well, for busy moms on the go.

Hide It and Disguise It: Even if you didn’t get your child use to vegetables from an early start, there is still hope. The last thing you want to do is to drench vegetables in fattening butter or ranch dressing. Instead, get creative with cooking. There are several great books available that include yummy recipes that are secretly pumped with vegetables. You can process several healthy items, such as meat, vegetables, and beans and hide them in pastas, casseroles, and baked goods.

Try this easy smoothie for mornings and snacks:

  • In a blender, add one cup raw baby spinach, one cup milk, 6 ounces of vanilla yogurt, 1 medium banana, and 1 cup blueberries. (Vanilla soy or almond milk can be substituted for the dairy in this recipe)
  • Mix together until smooth

This smoothie turns a cool purple color and the spinach taste is undetectable – even you might question whether you put it in or not.

Prepping for Success: Let your children help you prepare meals. Even just having your child pick which side dish to include with the meal might spur them to eat more at dinner time. By helping just a little bit with the meal preparation, they feel accomplished and proud of the food – making them more apt to take a bite or two.

Fun Eating Ware: Sometimes a fun plate can help picky eaters eat more. Try a personalized plate, such as the adorable “Hula Girl” Personalized Plate or the “Monkey Face” Personalized Plate. There has also been a lot of buzz on child chopsticks. Kids will have so much fun at mealtime that they will forget that they hate broccoli.

Picky eaters can spoil a delicious dinner quickly. Don’t allow your child’s bad mood to ruin family time. Set strict boundaries, such as no leaving the table until everyone has finished, or no snacks after dinner. Remember, no meal is worth fighting over, but you should only have to make one meal per mealtime – you aren’t a short order cook!

Zutano Preorder- Affordable Organic Wear

Posted on Aug 19, 2010 in Fashion, pre-orders

There has been a lot of buzz about organic clothing in the past few years. Organic clothing is softer and considered reasonably safer. Organic clothing is made with pesticide-free cotton grown in natural growing conditions.

With the benefits of organic clothing also comes a big price tag. Zutano is one of the few companies to offer organic clothing at an affordable price. Now you can rest assured that your child is wearing the best clothes and your wallet does not have to suffer for it.

Our favorite piece is the Meadow Marsh Organic Wrap Dress by Zutano. This gorgeous little dress is super soft and comfortable. The bright flowers make this dress fun playwear for any day of the week. This wrap dress can be dressed up with white leggings or dressed down with the fun Sunset Organic Pants by Zutano.

For another comfortable and easy look, pair Zutano’s Bluebird Organic Tee with the Solid Organic Pants in “Fern”. These soft pastel colors will look darling on any little girl.

Zutano also has organic wear for infants. Wrap your bundle of joy in the Forest Fun Organic Gown for boys or the Meadow Marsh Organic Gown for girls. At this price, these organic gowns will also make for a great gift at a baby shower. Check out the Bluebird Mini Stripe Organic Gown for a gender-neutral gown.

Top off the organic cuteness with the Cocoa Solid Organic Hat by Zutano. These darling hat will look good on both girls and boys. The soft, stretchy hat will keep babies warm without being bothersome to their delicate heads. Pair this organic hat with any of Zutano’s pieces for a complete look.

If you want to go organic, don’t bother with high priced organic designers. Zutano has the comfortable organic wear your child needs and the price you can afford.
