My son has been the same way since he was about 1.5 yrs old, I was at my wits end too. I stopped talking to the pediatrician because he blew me off because his weight and health are great. But they can not stop us from worrying. Try everything. I mean every food you can think of. My day care lady told me this...........if they eat it then the food is gone if you throw it away then it is still gone so try not to worry about the waste. I try to stand by that. He is eating much better now and it tool over a year. I just tried not to worry or force him. One thing I think that helped was sticking to eating times like clockwork even with snacks. Mine still almost never eats meat.
Hang in there. I believe theyh will grow out of it, Meanwhile try to sneak in what you can. Also I got mine on nightly vitamins.
Hang in there!!

Im glad im not on my own with this problem!!!My eldest eats everything and has well balanced diet!!Feel like a bit of failure cause cant get Jack to eat a dinner and you feel that their not getn right foods that they need to grow!!So far advice from family&friends has,nt worked short of stopping the weetabix and milk etc and starving him so he gets a taste for new foods but tried that and it was,nt worth the upset and he got very stressed so my theory so far is at least hes eating something thats healthy!!Have him on vitamins so we can only do our best!!So hopefully somebody out their has an new idea????Hope it all works out for you Lakisha
