My 5 month old GCC's favourite foods are apple, grapes and almonds (and ofcouse sunflower kernels, which I limit to two or three a day). He also eats lots of veggies and has seed and pellets available.
I use almonds slithers which I break into small bits for treats.
He loves his veggies (sweet potato, carrot, corn, peas, mung beans, sometimes beans, beetroot and zucchini) but won't eat any fresh fruit except apple and grapes, which I think are high in sugar. Ive tried banana, kiwi fruit and rockmelon, but he is not interested. He also likes sultanas, dried cranberries and dried pawpaw.
Im concerned that the fruit part of his diet and his almond treats might be fattening.
Thanks for your advise,
Wendy
