My 2 year old son refuses to eat fruits and juice, HELP!

[Armin]

Hi every one,
Thanks for the great ideas and support. so far i have managed to get him to eat 1/2 banana every day but i have to mash it with my hand and feed it to him but i guess its better than nothing at all..
Im adding grated apples and dried apricot in his red meat dishes and he does well with that too but still nothing hard should be given.. he learned to bite on Organix carrot puffs which made me fly to the moooooon ))
Please keep up your ideas and supports.. it means alot to me.

Have you tried steamed pear and apple slices - steaming will soften them up and you can then mash them, or leave them in slices.

I tried the steamed pear, apples and peaches but he wouldnt eat them.. he just touches it and asks for his hand to be washed.. i guess one of the main problems im having is that he wants to be super clean all the time which stops him from eating by himself.. id try again and mash it so i can add it to his yoghurt. wish me luck.
