The key is to continue to introduce new items slowly and steadily. This has to be a balancing act. What works best is having a repertoire of food items and healthy recipes ready, but not using them all at once. Try each one slowly and for some time. Start by introducing in small quantities to your baby to see how they react to it; as fussy as they are, babies can sometimes take time to get used to new tastes and flavors. Once this food item or healthy recipe is past its shelf life and your child is bored of it, you can move on to the next thing on your list.
