Anyone else's LO suddenly become a picky eater?

Question

My almost 11 month old went from eating anything you gave her to refusing to touch pretty much any veggies (even some fruits). Food that she loved before (carrots, peas, green beans, many more...) she won't even touch now. I've tried spoon feeding and leaving chunks in front of her and she acts disgusted & I know she likes them! 
Anyone else dealing with a picky eater all of the sudden?
I'm not sure how to handle it. Do I keep putting the things she's refusing in front of her and not give her things I know she'll eat? Or do I pretty much give up on the veggies for now and let her eat whatever she's willing to? I just don't know where the line between teaching her to listen to us and making sure she's eating enough is!

Answer

Yes! My 11 month old is doing the same thing right now, out of the blue! We have been standing strong with not changing her meal just because she doesn't feel like eating it. These are all foods she loves! We try to insist on feeding her at least a few bites, then providing the additional parts of her meal (puffs, crunchies, or applesauce, etc). We don't make it a big deal, her not eating, because I feel like it's behavioral. She's been into refusing other things too, and throwing tantrums when she doesn't get what she wants. Meal times take longer, because we just sit there with the spoon until she eats a few bites, but in the long run, I feel better not starting bad eating habits by allowing her to dictate what she will eat for dinner. I refuse to be a short order cook! 😜 Good luck, mama!
