Picky Eater

How do y’all deal with picky eaters? My child refuses to eat anything and throws huge fits every night at dinner. We don’t force her to eat but ask her to try a bite which usually she does but then continues to cry and complain. She hates everything. I’m not making different meals every night. I’m at my wits end. She’s been a horrible eater since she was a baby. I’m stressed and worried she’s going to have eating issues as she gets older.

Kids love sweets try cup cake foods. I’ve done my baby broccoli cupcakes not because she was a picky eater, but she loves hand foods. You would definitely have to get creative, play food games. Cute eating dishes. I know it can be hard, but give them a try. Also if she drinks more do a smoothie or protein mix.

I love to give my kids healthy versions of foods I know they like Make what’s realistic for me of things they like And try to offer them or introduce them to something new over a period of time but not force it or place importance on it and give them some sort of recognition when they do try! I think the eating issues may come from putting so much stress on the idea of eating. Depending on the age, they’ll let you know when they’re hungry. Also if you think it’s relevant to you, try looking into sensory issues with food?

You’re doing a great job. Making multiple meals is hard, and I hate that i did that with my oldest. But I’ve found ways to add nutrition to what she likes as she’s gotten older. My youngest is agreste eater, but becoming more selective. Hang in there.

My picky eater won't try a damn thing. I even told her about how taste buds can change and something you didn't like you can like later. Doesn't help.

My daughter eats very few things and refuses to try anything new. I hold onto the hope she will grow out of it she's 5. I have to ask her what she wants and whatever it is i make it because she won't eat it even if it's something she likes if she didn't pick it. I found a v8 juice that she likes it has veggies and fruit in it and I make sure she takes a multivitamin but other than that not much I can do.

Yup my daughter only eats like a handful of things and just wants to eat snacks 🙄 she cries if I even ask her to try anything. It’s sooooo frustrating. I make sure she takes a multivitamin, that’s about all I can do
