Boy will only eat junk

Not strictly boy related… but does anyone else’s 3yo just refuse to eat bloody anytttthing. It’s so frustrating. Even more so when he will actually try something one day and I think *score, I’ll get more for him!* and then suddenly he refuses to ever eat it again. Ugggh. I just feel like I’m failing him when he straight up won’t eat a vegetable or piece of fruit unless it’s in a pouch (and even then some pouches he will also refuse) Just want to know I’m not alone in this really, but also always open to any advice 💖

That is me with my 3 year old. Ugh it’s so frustrating. My son likes fruits but when it’s a vegetable or meat, ugh. It’s like I’m failing also I want him to eat well. You’re definitely not alone. I’m glad I’m not alone either. Have you mentioned any of this to the dr.

My boys are the same! They will eat lunch meat/chicken nuggets, fruit, fries, french toast, yogurt and snack stuff thats it! My youngest will atleast try stuff but my oldest who is 3 will not try anything at all! My doctor said its normal and to keep offering and he will eventually want to try. He is 90 percentile in height and weight so the doctor isnt worried!

@Jalyn so is it okay to just give in on what they should eat?
