Parents I need help. My 2.5 year old son used to be a greater eater. Now all I can get down him is processed foods like crackers, fruit bars, chicken nuggets. He will no longer eat any of his favorite foods like tofu and noodles. I tried to get some pediasure down him and he spit it out. What are some nutritious foods I can get him to eat? Iβm worried he is not getting enough nutrients.

Stop giving the child process foods. Believe it or not when the child is hungry they will eat. Offer fresh fruits and vegetables daily the child in will eat whatever you eating.Joycelyn posted January 13
When I took my childcare class they said when we have a child that does not eat whatever that child is comfortable eating and will eat it well they may have it for all 3 mealsVasudha posted January 15

This is really difficult. I can understand your frustration, I feel like getting kids to eat a wholesome meal is the most gratifying part of being a mother (and grandmother). I would suggest you don’t buy the processed foods and only make healthy foods available. Also, don’t panic or rush. It takes time to change habits so patience is key. Give your child delicious healthy options and allow them time to learn to love the foods you give them.
