Picky Eater
I’m dealing with such strong Mom guilt! My two year old boy is the biggest picky eater. He literally likes only unhealthy stuff and I’m just at a loss! I don’t know what to do. He only weighs 29lbs. This is something that I usually make, or chicken nuggets. He will eat oatmeal and maybe plain pasta but that’s hit and miss. I give him a dietary supplement and some pediasure shakes every now and then. I just feel like I’m doing it all wrong. He’s my only child. 😭 Helppppp!
Same boat, I try to remember that I'm in charge of what is served and he's in charge of how much he eats. I try to be playful, always let him steal my food, and just keep serving a variety of foods along with safe foods. His pass if he really doesn't want what we have for dinner is oatmeal with chia seeds (good nutrition boost) that he is in charge of making (adult adds the boiling water). Also, if you've got time homemade hand pies- sweet or savory go over great. I do unsweetened fruit with cream cheese or nut butter, butternut squash with ricotta and garlic, spinach and cheese filling. And you can do a large batch, freeze them raw and bake a few at a time.
