Creative tactics when you want those foods to disappear:
Try making food fun by stocking up on cookie cutters. A grill cheese sandwich maybe more interested when it shapes like a dinosaur.
Let your baby helps you. My daughter loves to help & she's more likely to try foods that she helps me prepared (of course don't let them touch the oven. They may help you by putting the berries in the yogurt, put the lettuce in the salad, etc.)
If they want sugared cereal, than try mixing it with Cheerios or other Healthy option. A little sugar won't hurt if you monitor it.
You may try mix & match foods, like put strawberries next to potato. You don't need to always think what food go with which foods. Maybe a variety of colors may make your picky baby eats.
Do you know that exposure to MERCURY can cause neurologic problems to babies?
I was adviced by my OB that not to eat fish that weights more than 1 lb. (b/c those fish are contaminated).
Large fish that feed on other fish can accumulate enough mercury to irreversibly damage a baby’s nervous system.
The 'US Food and Drug Administration' issued a consumer advisory in 2001 saying that pregnant women, nursing mothers, young children, and women who may become pregnant should avoid eating swordfish, shark, king mackerel, and tilefish.
They did not include fresh tuna steak on the list. But some consumer groups believe it should also be avoided.
I read a v-interesting fact & want to share it w/ all moms:
When it comes to introducing new foods, breast-fed babies have an advantage because the taste of mom's milk varies depending on what she has eaten.
On the other hand, formula-fed babies get the exact same taste every time they drink a bottle, and the introduction of new foods can be more difficult for formula-fed babies.
*breakfast cereals -- served with milk or fruit juice
*crackers -- served with cheese as topping
*whole wheat muffins -- with fresh or canned fruit
*Quick breads -- made with vegetables such as sweet potatoes or pumpkin
*Breads of all kinds i.e. multi-grain, white, wheat
*Oatmeal cookies -- with a serving of milk
*Bagel half -- with cheese wedges
*Strips of roast beef, chicken, or ham can be eaten as is or in finger sandwiches. (Luncheon meats are usually quick, but expensive and many are high in sodium and fat).
100% juice

Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl.
Pour the mixture into six (5 ounce) paper cups (1/3 cup mixture per paper cup).
Insert a wooden stick for a handle.
Cover and freeze until firm.
To remove a pop, hold the paper cup under tap water for a few seconds.
Your sweetheart can help measure ingredients, insert wooden sticks and arrange paper cups (o, sweetheart can be your baby, your husband, or others...).
