I have learned that what Stephanie said is true- the more I fight it, the worse it does become. There's a balance in there somewhere! Thanks for letting me mooch off your advice :) It was helpful!JordanandSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02171960302141504571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976610240077706158.post-28244327389832367392010-04-26T21:29:29.525-04:002010-04-26T21:29:29.525-04:00I love Seinfeld's book - I've found that I...I love Seinfeld's book - I've found that I can sneak about any pureed veggie in pancakes, and Natalie will eat them (the book has all these recipes in it!)! We've used beets, sweet potatoes and cauliflower, and she's clueless. :) As everyone else said, they do grow out of it eventually, and until then, keep offering him everything and sneaking in a few "vital" veggies here and there. :) Good luck!!Nate, Kris, Adrianna and Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02368600699732729155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976610240077706158.post-90627757734996389312010-04-26T21:12:48.241-04:002010-04-26T21:12:48.241-04:00thanks mom friends for your help!

G on the other hand - SUPER PICKY! I can't even stand it. However, he will eat any green veggie at any time over anything else. He loves fruit, too. It's meat I have to sneak into his diet. He only eats chicken. . .suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14832909382696305252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976610240077706158.post-62656297054054379502010-04-25T23:35:07.580-04:002010-04-25T23:35:07.580-04:00Well, I only have limited experience, but Victoria...Well, I only have limited experience, but Victoria has definately gone through picky stages. When she first started foods she would eat everything and anything (including dead flies and banana peels! :), but there have been times when she all of a sudden doesn't like something--to be honest, it has been a struggle during those times because picky eating is a pet peeve of mine :{ But I would make her eat a little and not allow her to eat anything else, if it was something that she previously liked. I wouldn't avoid serving it again, but I would only give her a little each time. Every time she has gone through a picky phase it has eventually ended, it seems to end more quickly if I don't make a huge deal out of it--not give in, but not make it a huge battle either--giving only a small amount avoids the huge battle for us. Nuts are one thing that she has never really enjoyed, but I have kept offering them to her in small amounts and now she will eat handfuls of them, it did take about 2 years but we got there :) Sorry about the long comment! I have been wanting to try that cookbook too, so maybe you could do a review of it after you have tried it :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13811342913456132267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976610240077706158.post-28892364050688872002010-04-25T22:04:50.491-04:002010-04-25T22:04:50.491-04:00I agree with what the previous poster said. Also,...I agree with what the previous poster said. Also, don't give up on foods even if it seems like he hates it. Just keep offering them to him in small amounts. You never know when he will start eating them again. Peter couldn't stand eggs either. Wouldn't eat them for months! But I kept offering them to him and now he wants them every morning.The Lestershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892396877354043038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976610240077706158.post-25211265014186100872010-04-25T20:10:13.312-04:002010-04-25T20:10:13.312-04:00that makes total sense Nina!

I can only imagine the harder it gets!We're kind of at the point where we won't make him anything else or allow him to eat when it "suits his fancy". :) you're right, when they are hungry enough, they will eat!kellyHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02171309204329616736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976610240077706158.post-1609047589983463812010-04-25T19:44:45.804-04:002010-04-25T19:44:45.804-04:00yeah, i sympathize with you, but don't really ...yeah, i sympathize with you, but don't really have any tricks of the trade to offer! elliot is the one who seems to have become a picky eater and also loves fruit. <br />elliot can snarf down macnchz one day and then the next day want nothing to do with it. well, for a while i catered to his whims (part of having more than one kid;). this didn't last long b/c i didn't want to make 2-3 separate meals each time we ate. so now he gets what we eat. and if he doesn't eat it the first round, it goes into the fridge and most every time he eats it at the next meal. and no snacks in between. <br />don't know if that helps you any...my eating philosophy has become a little more lenient since i have more mouths to feed now!michael whitcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12698747152904127870noreply@blogger.com
