Solid food strike?

Ok so I'm getting frustrated that D has been going on a solid food stike for a couple weeks now. Every meals ends with him screaming & crying. I may have a picky eater on my hands. He'll eat cereal like cheerios, fruit loops, apple jacks all day long...but has rejected things like ravioli, turkey, chicken/nuggets, and all veggies except mashed potatoes. Even though he'll eat mashed potatoes he'll only take a couple bites.  I am running out of ideas! Anyone have any suggestions? Any foods your LO's love?

    I'm with you. M will only eat the "bad stuff." No fruits or veggies. I wish I had suggestions. Pedi told me to keep her on pures since she will eat the fruits/veggies in the pouches.

    Sounds like a texture thing to me.  I'm sure it's just a phase.  Will he eat the pouches?  Smoothies through a straw?  What about toast (for the crunch like the Cheerios) with a puree spread on top?  Veggie sticks (somehow I doubt those have any real nutritional value lol)

    My LO loves corn on the cob, carrots, regular corn, sweet potatoes, bread, cranberry sauce, waffles, pancakes, fruit in the fruit cups (pears, peaches, and mandarin oranges), and any meat with bbq sauce on it.  It took him a bit to like pasta.

    Have you tried any of the purees with the food chunks in it (stage 3)?  He may just be having issues adjusting to textures.

    We are having a similar problem. She will still eat meat, in small amounts, but nothing else. She used to eat anything and now its all meat and those fruit/veggie pouches. We give her the organic pouches and she loves them, but if I try to give her those same veggies as solids she won't touch them.

    Cheese, yogurt, meatballs, meatloaf, roasted potatoes, mac and cheese.  She loves fruit and actually loves spinach when made into omelete, quesadilla or mixed with other things. She won't eat plan veggies (needs some parmesan, butter or such).

    I do find, anecdotally, that she eats better (more, less fuss) when we are all eating together rather than her eating by herself.  I always eat with her but sometimes dinner gets rushed.

    Thanks for all the suggestions! I think maybe he is having a texture issue or something. He does like scrambled eggs but I never thought about adding spinach! That's a great idea. I will try purees on toast also. If I try to feed him from the pouch he gets mad because he wants to feed himself but then just squeezes the pouch everywhere! LOL
