S/O Picky eating

momofcatan

Anyone heard of the book "French Kids Eat Everything"? I was just reading an article over the weekend that mentioned that book and I was thinking of checking it out. I'm frustrated that my girl who used to eat almost anything now refuses almost all vegetables. Besides giving me some ideas about how to introduce different foods I'm also hoping it will help me calm down and obsess less over what she decides to eat.

I haven't heard of it but my philosophy is "embrace condiments."  Not ideal but I will give ketchup, BBQ sauce, sour cream or ranch in generous amounts if it means consumption of something with a vitamin

It is a good suggestion and I will keep trying to add sauces, but I worry she is smarter than that. She loves pizza, so I tried to give her a mushroom slice yesterday. She picked off the mushrooms.

@araziza I totally hear you on that.  They're TOO smart!

We don't eat vegetables here either. Just fruits and meat. She will let us put a veggie in her mouth then she will stick her finger in her mouth till she finds it and then tosses it.

@mufflerlove Its nice to hear I'm not alone. All we can do is keep offering right?

@VASC did you know she came out with a second book? I think its supposed to be more of a "how-to"
