I have one of the worlds pickiest eaters 😭 I try to offer him different things to find new things he likes but its literally impossible bcus he's not even willing to try it 😰🤦🏻
All he eats is crackers/ crunchy stuff, spaghetti, rice, bananas, fries and a few other things with poor nutrition.
How do you ladies get your toddlers to eat & try new things?

My son is the same way. He won't eat meat, veggies and only he will only eat banana's when it comes to fruit. Only pastas and the occasional chicken nugget. He is so headstrong he will literally go without eating anything to prove a point. LOL

I can't really say much of anything because my daughter eats just about anything. But I've seen people hide something in whatever the child actually likes. Try that and maybe he'll grow to like the other foods you want him to eat.

✋ my son was like that and um he is almost 3 in July and here he was picking the tiniest bits of hamburger out his hamburger helper last night... he wont relly eat anything but pb&j sandwiches, his healthy cereal, bananas, apples, oranges, loves fruit, green beans... it is a hit or miss about chicken bc he dont like meats, LOVES bread And Hawaiian rolls lol idk... but his little sister eats none stop and cant think of what she doesnt like

@steviensincity lol atleast I'm not alone. I sometimes worry he's starving & not getting what he needs so I feel guilt. It's so frustrating 😐 lol

Don't give up! Have you ever tried eating it off of your plate and maybe see if he asks for it? My almost was 3-year old is like that I make him a plate and he won't eat it but then when I sit down to eat he comes and wants to eat my food which is kind of annoying but at least he's eating lol.. but now he doesn't have a choice my other daughter was that way also, she's four now but theyre old enough now to know don't ask me for anything sweet if they don't eat or at least try the other Foods... You don't get to tell me no LOL. But whatever you do don't give up my step daughter was raised on chicken nuggets noodles and bread and stuff like that just like what your toddler is doing now and she is 10 years old and still will not try new foods at all it's gotten to the point if you try to get her to she burst into tears she won't eat anything with a sauce any vegetables or anything new as the only meat she will eat is a chicken nugget it's ridiculous... But it's not my child to force that on her so I just deal with it but they didn't enforce it when she was younger so now they're stuck with a 10 year old who only eats literally like five foods.... It's literally like she's afraid of it my MIL wants to put her in counseling for it I'm like seriously 🙄. All that could have been a wrap at Age 3 or 4

@nellyrojas1994 its better having a greedy baby then a picky ome bc I worry when she refuses to eat ever since he started eating solids...

My son won’t touch his food sometimes, but if I empty it onto my plate at dinner, he all of a sudden wants to eat it. It’s like he thinks he’s missing out. We have tricked him so many times doing that. I will just put little pieces at a time from my plate on his high chair and he eats it. 🤷♀️

Also, he is really big on textures. Sometimes I make the same food several different ways to find a way he will eat it. I especially do that for vegetables. He won’t pick up steamed carrots or anything that feels mushy. But if I mash them all up and help him use a spoon, he eats it. It’s like if he doesn’t like the way something feels in his hands, he automatically decides he doesn’t like it. Also, I couldn’t get him to eat steamed broccoli but I added a little tiny bit of lemon butter sauce and he can’t eat it fast enough. He loves it.

@tattooedwho1 I try to sometimes eat from his plate and it sometimes works lol he likes stabbing things with the fork so I let him make a mess as long as he's trying to eat it lol

Just keep offering different foods. It can take 10-15 of trying a food before they decide if they like it or not. I make my toddler take a “no thank you bite” of everything before she can be done. To at least get her to try it. I understand the struggle. My oldest never ate anything and my middle is a picky eater but the older she gets the more she likes. I also don’t make my kids eat stuff they really don’t like. I know all of my kids hate green beans so I don’t even give them it. But if i feel like they haven’t truly given the food a chance I will have them take 1 bite.

@nellyrojas1994, my son Is the same way. I swear it was my main source of stress for so long. But I just keep offering and he finally is starting to try some new foods. He still hates every fruit, but he will eat like 2 kinda of vegetables if it’s mixed in with certain things. He will eat the most random stuff too... guacamole, salsa, but he won’t eat tomatoes 🤷🏼♀️ lol

@melissaredfield87 Its rediculous especially when you kno how delicious it is & know they would like it if they were just to try it and not be so stubborn 😂 atleast I know kids can survive on very little food lol
