A mom in Texas is going viral for her parenting "hack" to get her fussy little girl to eat her veggies.
On "Taco Tuesday," Torey Grace filmed herself confronting the issue that every new parent has. How do you feed a baby who doesn't want to eat her mushy carrots?
Little Aspen was throwing a fit in her highchair every time Grace came close with a spoonful of baby food.
"She's only eating her carrots one way today," the mom says at the start of the video.
The toddler was way more interested in the tacos her mom had for dinner.
"You want some taco?" Grace asked Aspen as the little girl's face lit up at the sight of the tortilla wrapped deliciousness.
Aspen opened her mouth at the hopes of getting a bite of taco, but momma knows better and slipped a spoonful of carrots into the girl's mouth instead.
The clever trick worked because adorably Aspen coos for more food.
"You really don't know you're eating carrots, huh?" Grace asked.
Other parents on Instagram and TikTok called Grace a genius for the taco trick.
"😂😂😂😂 hello CPS. She is bamboozling the baby. This is hilarious," wrote one person.
"'Pediatrician here who absolutely loves this. Gave me the smile needed today!" added another.
