I have to say that reading this about babies and toddlers concerns me. My son didn't sleep through the night until he was almost two years old!
Also, does anyone have any ideas about how to get my son to experiment more with fruits and veggies?
Right now his diet consists of home-canned unsweetened applesauce, freshly ground wheat bread, bananas, broccoli, and green beans. He really won't eat any other healthy foods.
I totally know what you mean, it can be so hard to get the lil ones to try new things! I made a post in May about "The Fruit Fun Game" My lil one often won't try new food either, but this game worked well with him. It could work with other food groups too :) http://livingfoodjunkie.blogspot.com/2010/05/fun-with-colours.html
My mom just told me the other day when she would introduce a new fruit or veggie to us as kids, she wouldn't immediatly tell us what it was until after we tried it. I guess she thought that we would get preconceived notions about it, before trying it out.

Hope that might help a bit! :)
Thanks! :)
