Son Won't Eat His Veggies

I agree with everyone that told you it may be a phase. When my brother & I were growing up, my mom tells me, we ate everything in phases, our phases were always at different times and the phases could last for months/years. If you are concerned because he is so young, you can buy baby vitamins, so he'll still get the overall nutrition he needs to develope. My brother wouldn't hardly ever eat fruits or veggies and he was a runner up in the MR America contest years ago. I on the other hand never liked veggies from 7 yrs old thru my teens. Now I love veggies and don't eat meat. = ) Sounds like he is eating healthy balanced meals. I wouldn't lose any sleep over this one.

Looks like you have already received some great advice. i would just add that if you want to there are ways to sneak veggies into their food without them knowing. I have a great new book called "deceptively delicious", lots of recipes and advice about mealtime. It was written by Jerry Seinfeld's wife.

Hey C., My oldest child is 18, and while all children are different, one thing I think most parents and doctors will agree on - kids go through eating phases. Especially toddlers. Your son has been exposed to some wonderful eating habits so far, you should really be proud of that. I don't think you have anything to worry about. Keep in mind that toddlers are also finding some independance and will refuse to eat something just because you want to them to eat it. Continue to offer those veggies and introduce new ones (as always watch for food allergies and new favorites). Toddlers will often go through phases where they will want to eat the same food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner...for a week...then not eat it again for months. Just be happy it's not chicken nuggets and fries!
I really don't think this is connected to weaning at all...I think he is just expressing himself, and let's face it, how many ways do kids that age get to do that? And it is really not worth fighting with him to get him to eat things that make him truly unhappy, even if he liked them a week ago.
Take a break and bring back those old favorites in a month and see how it goes. Honestly, he may decide he does not really like all of them, but you never know. I always try to lead by example and tell my son it's okay not to like it, but it's not okay not to try it.
Good luck to you!

You might try giving them different names. Like when he says he doesn't want to eat something tell him that is not a carrot it is a bunny frisbee or something crazy and fun. My kids like to pretend that their broccoli is a tree and they play but I tell them if they are playing with it they have to eat it. You could also try adding them to other foods. You can use potatoes in meat loaf and I am sure you could also use carrots and broccoli cut up really small in it. You could also do the same thing with pasta. Try to be creative, your kids will be.
