Maggie's days of eating spinach with applesauce, any type of squash, and entire bananas are long past.
We now just want her to take a bite. Of anything. Just a bite Maggie. One. Little. Bite.
So we resorted to using what every other parent of a finicky eater uses. Ketchup.
But Maggie just sucks the ketchup off, so we encourage her with a thousand "Bite it Maggie"s. But realistically one probably can't survive on ketchup alone (citation needed or is that common knowledge?). Oh and by the way I was astounded to see how many licks a In-N-Out fry can take before it wilts.
So Maggie is full into this dipping thing always saying "I dip it!" Breakfast is my domain so who knows what else is dipped throughout the day, but for Maggie breakfast is well-balanced and she likes dipping sausage and eggs into maple syrup, eggs into ketchup, bananas into yogurt, and waffles into orange juice.
Oh the dips you can dip up if only you try.

We are both in this together! Kate is such a finicky eater! She does love niggets. Anything she eats she calls nin-ner for dinner! They are so much fun but grrr to the eating! Miss you tons!
my sister firmly believes..and i tend to agree..that kids will not let themselves starve..so i guess when maggie gets sick of ketchup and other things that are dippable..she will eat. real food. until then..enjoy. :)
