Seriously, if any of you mommies out there have any tips on how you're getting your little picky eaters to eat, we'd appreciate it. Suzanne is trying all sorts of tricks as recommended by the pediatrician. Tonight, Jacob had sauteed green peppers dipped in ranch, sweet potato FRENCH FRIES...and none of it works. He will literally have none of it. It's frustrating for me trying to feed him once every two days. I cannot imagine how frustrating it is for Su who prepares it all only for it to be thrown on the floor!
He had very little to eat tonight so any advice is welcome. Just post them in the comments section.

Well, I'll tell you this. My mom says I was an incredibly picky eater in my youth and would hardly eat anything. Now I won't stop. I'm sure he'll be all right.
Jacob,I don't know what to think about your not liking sweet potato fries~Bebe's fav.You need to eat if you want to get big.Tell Mommy and Daddy that maybe this is just one more "new" thing in your little world that you are having to get use to.Things like flavors and textures that come so normally to them you are still getting use to.I'll bet that when you get hungry enough you will find something you like.
love and more love,

Hey..Bebe was right about the different textures of food..It may not be that he doesn't like the food, but the texture of the food is just too strange now..
I always felt mine would eat when they got hungry, too..
I would just fix him what he likes and try to add something new once a week..Try it everyday..You will have to be consistent and not give up the first time he spits it out or turns up his nose...He may like learn to like it if he tries it everyday..This also may just be a stage he is going through after going from baby food to table food..
Sometimes letting him pick it up with his hands may help, too..That way he is more or less in charge of how much he bites off or licks, etc..
My grandchildren were picky eaters, and my daughter made sure they had a good chewable vitamin everyday, too..
Y'all have a great weekend..
