fussy eaters my toddler will only eat weetabix and yoghurts

I have three children and had different responses with each. My youngest also ate everything pretty much when younger, and as she got older changed some of her preferences. Things that she could not get enough of she no longer liked, but months later enjoyed once more. One of my rules is try a little bit and if you don't like it you don't have to eat it, but you have to at least try it. Some how on her own she has decided she does not like meat (except chicken and turkey). She enjoys occasionally sweets, but will not eat cake! Birthday or not. Ensure supplement comes in many flavors if you do not thank he's getting enough fruit and vegetables. One of my daughter's favorites is apple slices dipped in peanut butter, fruit and protein. Give it a try. Enjoy your little one and good luck.

i know exactly what you're going through! but try and be encouraging - i know it can be difficult, especially if it gets frustrating for you. give him vitamins that may either increase his appetite and/or supplement whatever nutrients he doesn't get from the foods that he doesn't eat. there are diet supplements that you might want to try, too like pediasure, and make sure he still drinks enough milk to complete his protein needs. try not to have him snack close to mealtimes, and keep sweets and sugars to an absolute minimum as they can kill the appetite and make them hyper, too. do not stress too much about stuff he doesn't eat, and try to find and introduce new foods that he might like. stick to those that he will eat, even if you have to give it over and over. some kids are like that and wille at something until it comes out of their ears! oh well... good luck, keep us posted!

I think the most important thing to remember is to not make it a power struggle. Our rule used to be that the kids had to have a small taste of what was served. A small spoonful. If they didn't like it we would say "Well I guess you are not old enough yet to enjoy that" and then go on with dinner. Don't make a big deal about pleading with him to try it or forcing him to try it. Don't make a separate meal for him. As long as he is eating something he won't starve. But the more of an issue you make out of it and the more he sees you fretting about it, the longer it will go on. Keep introducing new foods. Keep enjoying new foods yourself and let him see you enjoy them. He will come around and adapt. My two sons are now eating artichokes, mushrooms and Indian food. They also went through a picky stage. They come around if you make sure not to exacerbate the situation. Relax and enjoy dinner. Serve some things you know he will like and other things that the rest of the family enjoys.

How old is your son now? Kids sometimes go through these phases.

Sounds like a phases. My son went through something similiar but would only eat carrots, hot dogs, and peanut butter sanwhiches (not really sure where he got that combination). We let him eat his unique dites for a few weeks then started to re-introduce other foods to him. He is not a picky eater now and often requests apples and other healthy foods for snacks.
