Toddler Becoming Picky With Food?

Question

My toddler used to eat anything we put in front of him. Now I have to make seven different things for every meal just to find one that he will eat. Today he ate crackers and Cheetohs Puffs for lunch after I made him chicken, corn, cut up a banana and a cheese stick - he touched none of it. I hate giving him junk food but it's all he will eat sometimes! Any parents out there struggling with this?! Any suggestions?!

Answer

my daughter too but i dont offer anything else instead. only if she has eaten all amd wants something else and even then its healthy foods.

Answer

Mine! I just giver her a “meal” every 4 hours and if she doesn’t eat a lot or I feel like she needs a snack then I give her that. If she eats she eats if she doesn’t she doesn’t. I only give her 20-30 minutes in her high chair. And sometimes if I let her feed me a bite first she is more willing to at least try it.

Answer

Same thing with my son. For the longest time, he would only eat if he could feed himself. Recently, he's decided that he will only eat if I spoon feed him. He's also gone from eating everything to being very picky. I don't offer junk food though. He is still breastfeeding, so I normally just offer that more on his super picky days.

Answer

Yes!! I’m having the same issue. I never know if I should keep trying foods or if he’s just not hungry! The doctor told me to aim for 7 good meals a week - 1 a day. I’m still breastfeeding too and he seems to want to nurse more than eat food now too. But I just keep trying and try not to stress about it too much. It is frustrating when I make 5 different meals and he doesn’t want any of it!

Answer

Mine is recently refused to let me feed her. She will only eat it if she can use her hands.

Answer

Mine has been picky from the beginning.  She has like five things she will eat and sometimes she won’t eat it until I physically plop it into her mouth.
