Hi Mom's!

I need advice on how to handle a picky eater. My 16 month old eats well but he has about 4 things he eats. I have tried a lot of exposure, giving him a plate of food with something he likes along with new things, I have even tried hiding things in stuff he likes. I also try to make sure I don't pressure him and stay patient. It has gotten to the point where daycare has asked us to send something in because he won't eat anything they give. Sometimes he will try things but spit them out, other times he takes one look at it and acts like I'm trying to poison him and throws it off his tray lol. It seems like a pattern after waiting 30 minutes hoping he will eat something I resort to giving him what he wants because I figure he has to eat right?

Any advice is much appreciated!!
