Dad tricks baby into eating a mouthful of vegetables

When its time to eat her vegetable mash, a sleepy baby Sofia is not interested.

She turns her head away, yawns and whines as her dad tries to bring the pink spoon to her mouth and whistles to catch her attention in this viral video posted last week. But clever dad has a trick for his fussy daughter, who seems more intrigued by the Kit Kat bar he pulls out next.

He holds up a piece of chocolate and brings it toward her mouth, but Sofia won't be eating sweets during this meal. Watch what happens.

This parent's bait-and-switch tactic, posted under YouTube's comedy category, has been viewed more than half a million times since July 31 and received about 500 comments.

"Revolutionary method and fully sustainable!" the description says humorously when translated from Portuguese.

Comments on the video ask if the little girl wants the chocolate because she's eaten it before, but the description says she doesn't know how chocolate tastes.

Some parents have an easier time helping their kids become interested in vegetables, such as this woman whose toddler thinks kale is hilarious.
