Almost 2 Year Old Wont Eat ANYTHING

Hi, all kids go through this. In my house, breakfast & lunch are the kid's choice. If you want spaghetti for breakfast, fine. Dinner is my choice. In your case, she would have to eat 2 bites of meat, 2 bites of potato, 2 bites of veg. to get dessert. How much you eat determines how much dessert is given. Sometimes they only get 1/2 tsp. of ice cream. If you want more dessert, you have to eat more food. If you eat no dinner, you get nothing else. On plus side, breakfast is easier in the morning because she is really hungry. It is a power issue. She wants to make some decisions on her own. My kids will eat anything with dip- raw veg. with ranch dressing, fruit with whipped cream, peanut butter on ritz crackers or apples. If she eats mac & cheese, mix carrot baby food in it.Rolled ham is good.Pork fried rice(meat & veg.).English muffin pizza. Sometimes if they help make it, they will eat it. It will pass.

it sounds harsh but give her breakfast lunch and dinner and if she doesnt eat it then she gets no snacks,I had the same problem with my 4yearold. I felt like if I did that he would starve, but he realized he wasnt going to get what he wanted and would get hungry so he would eat. He got out of that phase. Kids are very good at getting what they want. Theyknow they can make mommy feel guilty and get whatever they want. I know it sounds hard butyou have to stand your ground. Good Luck

My son is almost 7 and I believe he really is the pickiest eater ever. Not only is he regularly picky but he doesnt like any of his food mixed or any kind of sauces or marinades on anything but recently he cant even eat his food if it is touching another food on his plate. He also is not into breakfast at all and I worry about that because the say it is the most important meal for kids.I talked with my doctor about it because I didnt feel like he is getting enough vitamins and she told me in the morning to give him instant breakfast made with skim milk. He loves it now. I just make it and he has no problem with taking it and it really gives them all the vitimans and nutrients a kid should have. You should talk to your doctor before giving it to your daughter because she is so young but hopefully he is ok with it...

Good luck

I am going to go the same route as everyone else on this one. You are the adult and she is the child. always remember that. You have the control,she does not. I am a firm believer in you eat what I prepare. Don't get me wrong I know that we all don't like the same foods but whatever. You are the boss. One thing I did with my now five your old when she was two. I would put her food in front of her and if she felt she didn't want to eat it I would wrap it up and put it in the fridge. When she said she was hugry I would take it out and heat it up for. Needless to say I did that for about a week and that was the end of that. Good luck. I know all this sounds easier said than done!! But your a mom so you must be tough as nails!!

my older son was a fussy eater/ still is however pb&j are always a go and it is healthy there are also some good breakfast bars that all kids seem to like i try to get the ones with some kind of fruit filling it isn't great but they seem to like it. during the day i let most things go by but at dinner i insist that they at least try what i make

first stop giving/buying the stuff you don't want her to eat ex..junk food..she will eat when she gets hungry enough..they have breakfast bars out that taste pretty good..most kids like granola.. apple sauce is a pretty good thing..penut butter & jelly sandwhiches work awesome my kids make them all the time for snacks & my son's councilor said that will help them sleep better at nite gl :)

I seem to have the same problem as well. I have a two year old son who used to eat EVERYTHING!!! He was into fruits and veggies big time. Just recently he has become pickier. For breakfast I usually make him some pancakes and put fruit in these. He eats them no problem. For lunch he likes a number of things but sometimes he's just too busy to sit and want to eat. I know he likes what I give him, but he just doesn't eat. Dinner is where I find it the hardest. I never make him a seperate meal. I never force him, but I don't give him a lot of the junk he wants. Ever since Halloween I've been giving him a few pieces for a snack and now that's all he wants. So, I've stopped giving it to him, and I've had to hide the bag. Does she like yogurt? I've noticed my son loves it. I also give him for a snack peeled apple pieces with peanut butter to dip them in. I've noticed he doesn't eat a lot of meats anymore either and that's where I'm running into my problems! You've got a lot of great advice here! Good Luck!
