My son has NEVER been an eater. In the first year he was all about the milk, crackers, apples, and bananas. He was never open, even as an infant to any type of veggie, meat, or other fruit to be in his mouth. He would get very upset. Now at two all he will eat is sometimes banana, crackers (grahm and other) and yogurt. Everyday I make other choices available to him but he won’t even consider them – not mac & cheese, any type of pasta, potato, or peanut butter. He doesn’t ever allow them into his mouth. If something hits another food and he accidently gets a taste of i.e. peanut butter he screams and wipes his mouth out. The doctor says he is at adequate weight. I don’t know how. I took the dr.’s suggestion to only put food he should eat in front of him with one thing he loves and he will get hungry. After 5 days of adequate fluids(juice and milk)and bits of food I gave in. I want to help him and believe he doesn’t know what he is missing for taste. How can I help him?
