My child doesn't like to eat?!? How can that be? As it turns out, I was quite the picky eater myself when I was younger.
She appears to be enjoying a snack here. Not really so though. See how the food is all crunched? She's more of a player than an eater. Here she's eating those little pretzel nuggets with peanut butter inside. Some of the crunching I did when I was giving it to her though.
Addy has a few choice foods she will eat. Yogurt is a favorite of hers. She also likes scrambled eggs, green beans, bananas, pizza, strawberries, peas, raisins, popcorn, pretzels, oatmeal, certain soups, goldfish and corn. Doesn't sound too bad I guess. Most of the foods she eats are pretty healthy. However, even when she does eat, it's like 5 bites and she's done.
Dr.'s say to let kids like this "graze" all day, which we do. The only thing is, feeding our child is turning into a full-time job because we are constantly offering foods which she rejects. Then, we try again a little while later.
When she does eat a decent meal, her little tummy must feel so much better, and she is in a lot better of mood. I hope this phase is over soon because it is wearing me out!
Sorry for my venting on her pickiness... I wasn't really trying to write a novel. :) I'm just worried because she has gone from the 95th percentile in weight to the 60th in a matter of months. Her Dr. doesn't seem too concerned, so that's good!
I think that list of foods she eats sounds great! Doesn't seem too picky. I just keep giving Kade things over and over and sometimes he decides to try something and discovers something new to eat. As long as she's eating, I'm sure it's fine! :)
