Picky eater

    They all go through it, and I haven't figured out when it ends yet - I just got an email from a reader of my blog who was asking for advice for her 2 year old, so I know it lasts until at least then!

    I recommend a mix of feed him/let him starve (

    I am going through the same thing, and it's driving me crazy. Ds used to eat meat, peanut butter, toast...now all he will eat are fruit melts, bananas, fruit purees, and oatmeal. I offer everything, and he just refuses. And to the poster who says if they'
