Oh he loves yogurt. And he will also eat Brussel sprouts.. He's my boy because u loveeee my Brussel sprouts :)

Just make sure you only offer nutritious things so when he does eat he's getting as much good stuff as possible. Try mixing veggie purees into the applesauce, carrots mix really well. Does he like yogurt? I buy whole fat Greek yogurt for ds so he at least gets some protein and fats.

My pediatrician says this is normal, and not to worry too much if they get the proper amount of variety over a 3-4 day time. Hopefully he starts eating better soon.

Yeah. I make sure to buy things I know he likes. And yet he won't eat it. Hopefully he doesn't do this for too long.

Yea this behavior is totally normal. My 4&1/2 year old still doesn't eat great. But they won't starve. I think it's harder on us then them lol

Thanks ladies. I was starting to worry a bit.

My son was the same at that age and still is at three years old. I kid you not he starves himself to the point I recently took him to the doctor to make sure his weight was fine and to get some advice. He told me he sees this happen all the time. It's just my sons way of getting control of something. He's refusing to eat cause he can. Especially since he can't talk.

He suggested i offer the food Once and then put it in a place he knows so he can ask for it when he wants it. And to keep giving him healthy snacks. If I can I'll leave his food out on the table and will find him eating it on his own later.

This is a daily frustrating struggle between us but I try not to make it a big deal because at the end of the day kids won't let themselves starve too much.

Also what PP said one meal a day is fine

It's just a phase that can sometimes last a long time lol. All kids go through it. Don't stress too much. My pedi said as long as they get one good meal a day (of course offer 3) they will be fine. With healthy snacks in between

I usually let him have an Applesauce everyday but he doesn't get sweets and junk on a regular basis.
