I was really trying to prevent my child from becoming one of those kids that only eats chicken nuggets and Mac and cheese. Well right now he is the pickiest he's ever been and he refuses my go to of his gluten free chicken tenders so I got him these different gluten free Winnie the Pooh chicken nuggets today and he about stuffed his face with them lol. I'm like well ok then mom 1 Andrew 590 😆 at least they are kind of healthy chicken nuggets don't have all kinds of crap in them. Otherwise my menu options is very short.

Girl yes! My son has his days! The only thing he wanted yesterday was oatmeal and zucchini. Today he tried a bunch of different stuff. Toddlers are exhausting 😂

@bynuma09, idk what has happened! He's always been picky but he's really picky not eating stuff he always loves lately. I don't do Mac and cheese hardly ever cause he suffer from horrible constipation but the couple times I have given it to him he loves it! But what kid doesn't? Lol thankfully he still likes his turkey and ham wraps and obj but that's about it besides snacks and his jar baby food and waffles. 😫 I hope it's just a phase. I always try to reintroduce things to him when he starts refusing them and sometimes he will eat them again and sometimes he won't :/ sucks when he has a wheat allergy and dairy sensitivity I have like nothing to give him that he likes.

@amouryaya09, it's a struggle! I try to give him new things and most the time he doesn't like them. And now him not eating stuff he's always like I'm just like ugh I hope it's just this week and next week you go back to
Liking it lol. He's so limited to what he can eat with a wheat allergy and dairy sensitivity. It's super hard to
Find stuff for him to eat that he will like.

Some days all he'll eat is French fries. I get sneaky and buy the veggie fries so st least he's getting some veggies.

@bynuma09, my son has his last tooth coming in so I was wondering if that was why but he's been eating other things just fine. I was thinking if he keeps it up I may have to look into pedia sure or something. ( he's a good weight though! He's a chunky monkey) but Sometimes I give him these fiber/protein toddler bars when he wont eat just so he eats something besides puried baby food.

@nomli, I have bought the veggie tots and the first time he loved them the second time he didn't like them 😐 so I was like ok guess I'm not buying them anymore. That's why I still buy the puried baby foods because that's the only way I can get him to eat fruits and veggies. And that's actually one thing he will still eat at every single meal.

@missjess, he won't 😭 that used to be my go to, pouches, but now he shoves them away!
He tried the veggie tots today and ate then too, so we'll see. He really likes the fries made with broccoli, tolerates the carrot ones, haha.

@missjess, yes! My son has a milk and egg allergy! That shit is in everything!! I buy vegan products hoping he will eat it. If he doesn’t I’m like whatever and give him puffs. Lol
Jess·
@bynuma09, really? See my son has actually started liking more veggies as he's gotten older. But I can't get him to eat the real deal. I try to get him to eat real fruit all the time and he won't. Once in awhile I cAn get him to have a couple bites of brocclie or califlower but not all the time. He will eat sweet potatoes chopped up and roasted. They are tricky little beings! So hard to figure out
Jess·
@amouryaya09, lol! You feel my pain! And the allergy free foods are so expensive!!! Half the time I just give him his little protein fiber bars/ jar food or Cheerios and call it a day lol
Jess·
@bynuma09, idk girl, I think it may be awhile lol 🙈
Maya 🐝·
@missjess, yes! They won’t eat them. I started getting him these fruit snacks. It’s all fruit nothing else. I hate for him to snack all day but I’m glad he’s eating something. Lol
Jess·
@bynuma09, hah! I just know it's probably going to be a challenge for many years to come 🤐 I'll be looking into too if my son keeps this up.
Jess·
@amouryaya09, I know I hear you. That's why I still stick to the jar food. and I really stick to a strict diet with him sugar free or low sugar. I don't let him have a lot of stuff. Mostly everything is good for him has some type of nutritional value. I don't just give him anything.

@missjess, he still eats pouches! I don’t mind since he has a few favorites. I think you’re doing a great job girl!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Jess·
@amouryaya09, yes I do the
Pouches too! And thank you, I try my best! ❤️
