princess,
my son is only taking 4tsp heinz cereal with 60ml milk once a day. found out he prefers runny stuff. if i dun make it runny enough, he will not eat. maybe you can try adding more liquid. he used to like heinz till I intro other puree to him. maybe heinz is too bland compared to other food. he will cry and dun open mouth. for me, I dun wan him to be scared of eating. so when I see him fussing I'll stop and try again tomorrow. if he really dun want, I'll try to this item again another day.
I have not tried steamed apple or pear but I tried pumpkin, potato, broccoli and earth best jar pear. I only give him 2 mouthful on 1st day and subsequently increase little more. 1st day he will rejecte e food. then i'll try again tomorrow. maybe u can try giving her pumpkin, sweet potato, carrot which is quite sweet naturally. dun give up. keep trying.
