Different cheeses

Picky eaters often have a comfort level with cheese. Like many foods though, this may be limited to one type. Frequently though, we realise we do just offer one kind of cheese or assume that our child will only accept one. Sometimes we have offered other’s but usually not consistently.

Accepting a new food or a variation of a food takes time. A new cheese variety must be thought of as a new food for a fussy eater.

Using a familiar food for delivery can help, for example a cracker. Or, combining the new cheese with a favourite topping, eg. cream cheese and Vegemite.

In the photo I have:

– Brie – which could be a stretch, but I do know very selective eaters who are comfortable with it (always good to be open to any new food too and not pre-judge).

– Cream cheese – mixing a soft texture and a crunchy texture can be supportive.

– Edam – the most likely accepted of cheeses, but not necessarily!
