Pickiness! GRRR!

I know that it is hard when all you want is for your children to eat! Remember that he is a toddler and toddlers like to graze and eat on the run. Hard to think that food wouldn't be the top priority like it is for most adults, but at that age I would say it's very normaal. I have learned not to make eating time such a fight, they will eat when they are hungery. Just one of the many fases that you will see :) Good luck and try not to stress, it's amazing how a two year old will can feel your energy. I learned that with my frist child and the second I am doing thing much differently when it comes to eating.

Hello, we're not quite to your stage yet - my son is 13months, but most of the time he doesn't like to eat what we put in front of him either. It certainly can be VERY challenging!

This morning he wouldn't eat pancakes - he ate Mac&Cheese, but he ATE :) Maybe try to find what your son likes - I think they go in stages, too - for awhile our son couldn't get enough bananas, now he would rather have pears. I keep telling my husband, so what, he doesn't want breakfast food, let's try turkey, cheese, peas instead. If he wants eggs for dinner, fine - he's just a little guy and it still learning about food. :) We just make sure he's getting all the nutrition he needs. I think he gets the pickiness from his dad :)

Good Luck!

My daughter's always been a great eater and we hardly ever had snacks and junk in the houes, no cookies, no icecream etc. Occasionally we do. I only offered her healthy food and typical dinner food. Out of sight out of mind! She never thought there was something better to eat and learned to like the typical stuff in our house. I still have problems with most veggies she's not a perfect eater but she'd choose fruit over candy any day. I'm not big about eating snacks in between meals because it always seems to mess up meal time. After dinner snacks are good but not between lunch and dinner unless dinner is gonna be late.

Unfortunately, I too have this issue. I'm gonna say it's pretty much the way most 2 year olds are. I have 5 neices and a nephew that went thru this too. I think as they get older and are around other kids they will "experiment" a bit more-I notice my 4 year old eats things when in a group of kids eating that she wouldn't eat if I put it in front of her at home! (we were just at a birthday party and she ate a raw carrot!-would never do that at home-but all/most of the other kids were eating them so...). Anyway, Just continue to put the good stuff in front of him and know that eventually he'll eat more of what you want him to.

Sincerly,
A.
