Feeding toddlers is not an easy feat. I guess most toddlers are picky and finicky about their food preferences- loving something for a few days and eating only that- then turning around and not being able to stand it. L is becoming a pickier eater and acts like he doesn't want anything sometimes. There are instances when I try up to 10 different foods before he takes a few bites- if he weren't still nursing I would worry about vitamins/nutrients. Sadly, distractions- like sesame street- seem to help with eating. It's almost like he forgets to be resistant and picky and just eats.
Today L has been offered- eggs, avocado, sweet potatoes, grapes, pasta, cherry tomatoes, apple sauce, coconut water, primeval bars from trader joes (basically a raisin bagel), and chicken...he picked at a little bit of it but I wouldn't say he had a full meal. He did enjoy playing with his food though. I think part of makes this phase so frustrating is that I usually end up eating more because of not wanting to waste food....
