I think I have the pickiest eater for a child. He doesn’t even like things that are most kids go too’s like pizza, chicken nuggets. I have the hardest time with getting him to eat. And I try to make meal times some what healthy plus my son is lactose intolerant and has a severe wheat allergy so no gluten or grain or dairy. I keep trying different recipes and different foods in hopes that he’ll take to other things but usually all my try’s are fails :/ I get frustrated a lot but I’m trying to take a different approach and at least I try different things. Tomorrow I’m making sweet spinach muffins and garlic zucchini noodles with turkey meatballs ( I hope he likes it!) I feel like I waste so much money on food but what can I do I have to keep trying. I can’t just always stick to like the 4 foods he does eat. What kind of healthy alternatives do you get your kiddos to eat?

We are a I make 1 meal or starve type of family. We just make normal foods and stick to dairy free because my youngest has a sensitivity. Eat it. Or starve.

My son is super picky now to he use to eat everything and once he hit 1.5 he stopped eating everything it sucks he had maybe 10 things he will eat but now Because he eats the same stuff over and over again his list is getting smaller so right now he will eat hot dogs, some cereal, bananas, and depending what’s in it sauce wise or food wise noodles and plain bread and a few days ago he finally started eating pb and j sandwiches which he use to hate. No meat no nothing his doctor told me it’s time to offer him dinner if he doesn’t eat he doesn’t eat if he asks for food you offer his meal back to him I’ve done it twice the first time he actually went back to the table and ate it the second time he waited till breakfast he did do it the other night and it was something new altogether and I already knew he wouldn’t like it so I made him a pb and j sandwich.

We are gluten free and dairy free as well. I keep a stockpile of fruit/veggie muffins in the freezer for extra picky days. But, it may be helpful to you to look up the nutrition guidelines for a 2 year old. A portion of meat for a kid that young is the size of a D battery. My kiddo is usually a hefty eater, so when he is going through picky phases, I have to remind myself that what he just ate is actually nutritionally sound even though it isn't his usual man-size portion.
