How do u get ur lo's to eat them? I tried boiling some carrot sticks and brocoli for lo and he didn't like them at all

I puree them and mix them with things she already likes then each time give her more of the new veg and less of the one she likes. Then once she's eatung it in puree form I introduce it as a finger food x

My LO won't eat carrot (yet...ive tried loads of time but not giving up!) but she loves steamed pureed broccoli mixed with apple or pear. Also likes broccoli & cauliflower with cheese & leeks. Try some combinations & see what happens!

Trial and error. Keep offering them

It's just a new texture and flavor. Doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't like them

Oh, to add, sometimes, for example, Alex throws all his pancake on the floor and other times he gobbles it up. We BLW so food is fun until one

Also, nine months is too old in my mind to be pureeing them.

Agreed, I only realised how old your LO is after posting my above message x

Keep offering it really, there is no reason why a baby would not like veggies given the right day and mood lol Just over a small range of different veggies every time and try again, dont try to remember what he liked or did not liked and just keep the options opened.
I also prefer the idea of finger food, especially at 9 months, no need to puree food really.

Maybe try making soup? Corey loves leak and potato soup.

But then again he also loves his veg

This ^^^

We tried numerous times with banana (I know this is a fruit but still the same principle), I refused to believe my LO would be the only baby in the world who didn't like banana.

I tried mashed, sliced, chunks everything..then one day he decided he'd have a good old gobble on a whole (small) one, now he loves them and will eat them any way given.

P.s the first time Oliver had veggies non-pureed was mashed in a mini baby roast dinner with a bit of chicken and potato, now he eats the roast as it comes.
