fussy eating

My toddler can be a bit fussy and not want to eat sometimes. Does your son still have snacks? I stopped letting my son have snacks because he would wait for snack times and not eat at meal times. Also, giving your child the same thing every time may well be boring for him and that could be why he won't have some things. Try giving him at least 2 different foods at a time and give him different things. Give him whatever you have at least some of the time. Give him variety and it might work. You just have to percevere but he might just not feel hungry. If he doesn't start eating once you vary his food a bit more then take him to the doctor or a dietician to check if he is getting enough.

heres what you do buy some gummy bear vitamins so he can get his vitamins he needs with my son i offer it and if he doesnt eat it he goes hungary until the next meal eventually he will eat

What you should do is put two foods that he really likes on his plate and one new food. See if he tries it. If not don't worry. After introducing the food for a week, if he hasn't done anything with it encourage him to pick it up and lick it. If he likes it get him to taste it. Don't push this too fast. Apparently a child needs to be introduced to a new food at least 10 times before they will eat it without question so this gradual introduction should help broaden his diet slowly and you won't have to panic or push him to eat things.

My parents sat the food in front of me, and if I didnt eat it..I didnt eat. I dont think this is acceptible anymore. But I wouldn't cater to his eating habits - or you'll be doing it for life. I'd just try to force enough down him to keep him healthy and let him decide what he wants to eat after that. Offer him things you know he will eat. Maybe you can put a food he loves with a food you'd like him to try.
