Re: bought my fruits for 5 days

my daughter loves fruits.. specially watermelon, pomelo and oranges (sometimes a bit of apple).. she hates fruits like avocado and banana

she can go on the whole day just eating fruits.. just that my father seemed to think she will be malnourished if she doesnt eat rice or bread.. oh yea... the challenges of a working mon.. I cant have full authority on what my daughter eats..

When it comes to food, babies / children are often wiser than adults. I remember practically living on Macintosh apples that were grown locally and there was always a bushel basket of them in the house when they were in season.

We used to go blueberry picking and I'd be set in a basket beside the bush and eat the berries right off the bush.

Times changed and we moved to the city. Then I was told to eat my broccoli / brussels sprouts if I wanted dessert. I'd sit there for what seemed like hours because I didn't want to eat it. I knew best!!!

MH is the first person who ever told me that garden vegetables aren't such a great human food.

Your daughter knows best. She knows intuitively which fruits she "needs". Hopefully you can educate your father about this. My opinion, children should never be force-fed because of the opinions of wrongly-educated (even if they are well-intentioned) adults.
