What to Feed a Picky Toddler?

My 2 1/2 year old will pretty much only eat chicken and junk. She does like cheese and peanut butter and jelly also. We sometimes lie to her and tell her that healthy foods are junk foods. She loves chicken soup and chicken pot pie. We call pot pies, chicken pie, even if they aren't chicken. All sous are chicken soup in our house also. Try making the foods look fun to eat or add something to his that he does like, even if it's not appetizing to you. You can find a lot of kid friendly recipes online. They sell kid meals and snacks in the infant department at most stores that are healthy. We bought a dinasour sandwich cutter for her pb&j sandwiches. They sell all kinds of different shapes at Walmart or in some craft stores. Hope some of this works for you. Good luck.

Is he really picky or is there something else going on? My son barely ate anything and all the time I thought he was picky it was because he couldn't taste anything because of his tonsils and adenoids. Once they were out and he could taste food he ate and ate.

Ha ! your not alone. My 3 year old, would drink just milk for two days. I have to asked her what she wants and all she ever tell me is milk. I will cook her favorite food but she will not eat it. Show her the content of the fridge, she would say milk. I itimized all the contents of our kitchen to her and yet she would just tell me, I want milk. Sometimes, it is very frustratin, BUT there are days also where she would asked for food, and sometimes she eats anything I gave her. Sometimes, I wonder maybe they have days where they want to eat anything and some days they don't feel like eating. Try some fruits, that works ussually to my daughter if she does not want to eat. Ever since she is a baby she love to eat fruits. That really works fine with me. And sometimes, when we are at the grocery, I let her pick up her own food.
