Is your child lacking something in their diet if they eat whole lemons and chomping on frozen veggies?

We do not eat much junk food, so I am not extremely concerned but wanted to be sure.

I don't think so. Ask your pediatrician to be on the safe side, but I don't think it's like when some kids continuously crave soap or crayons or something not edible.

My kid chomped green peppers, whole tomatoes and onions like they were apples. I didn't make a big fuss about it because I was thrilled he loved veggies. And because I didn't stop him, he now eats almost any vegetable placed before him.

If your little one likes frozen veggies, don't see anything wrong with it. Might be like green-bean flavored popsicles for him/her, lol.

Watch the acid intake though, with teeth enamel and stomach lining. We only allowed him one citrus and one tomato a day but made sure (and still do) make sure there are plenty of other fruits and veggies for him to choose from.

I talked with my doctor about this same subject and her reply was no. kids just go through stages where they want what they want. keep offering other food, but don't worry about it.

Absolutely not! Be cafeful with the lemons as the acid in them will wear away the enamal on his/her teeth. Check with your daughter's dentist about his opinion on that. My daughter loves frozen veggies, too. She says its fun eating them that way!
