The only things he will eat consistently are fruit/veg pouches (not the all veg ones), peanut puffs, granola bars, and yogurt melts. He used to eat meat and cheese really well, but now refuses it. Sometimes he'll eat cut up fruit but often he wont. He doesn't like mac and cheese, pasta, PB&amp;J, hummus, grilled cheese, beans, grapes, apples, any veggies, yogurt not in a pouch...Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-picky-toddler-always-eat#post-2660289 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 17:13:22 +0000 skipra 2660289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest is very picky but will usually eat pb &amp;j or Pb on crackers, vanilla yogurt and fruit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-picky-toddler-always-eat#post-2660179 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 14:41:03 +0000 fussygal 2660179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a picky 2.5 year old - granted she's gotten better the past few months, but it's still rough. At that age she would eat a ton of hummus, and has always been a big fan of pasta which gave me the chance to sneak different veggies/purees into the sauce and meatballs. And peanut butter - allllways peanut butter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-picky-toddler-always-eat#post-2660130 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 14:07:54 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2660130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yogurt and bananas are his go to!</p> <p>We're really trying not to be short order cooks. I have specific things I offer each night. If he doesn't want those, he doesn't get something else. He'll protest and throw things on the floor initially, and he'll try to get into the pantry to get us something else, but I'll just tell him no and offer what we had. He gets mad at first, but then realizes I'm not kidding, and will start eating what I made him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-picky-toddler-always-eat#post-2660052 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 12:51:27 +0000 Dahlia 2660052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petitenoisette: Hahah right? @Portboston: I haven't tried hot dogs yet, but she loves breakfast sausage links! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-picky-toddler-always-eat#post-2659973 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 11:52:49 +0000 Portboston 2659973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I have the pickiest of toddlers. Yogurt never fails. Although he usually only eats a few spoon fills then smears the rest on the table. And if I'm really desperate, hotdogs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-picky-toddler-always-eat#post-2659873 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 10:21:15 +0000 snowjewelz 2659873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm mine will never turn down some kind of fruit (especially the sweeter dole fruit in a cup thing), and I think she has never turned down mac &amp; cheese! And also cheese. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-picky-toddler-always-eat#post-2659869 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 10:20:06 +0000 petitenoisette 2659869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is a very good question. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-picky-toddler-always-eat#post-2659734 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 08:24:41 +0000 littlebug 2659734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pasta is successful 90% of the time. 100% is peanut butter - either just peanut butter on a spoon (for a snack) or a PB&amp;J sandwich (for a meal). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-picky-toddler-always-eat#post-2659686 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 01:29:12 +0000 iluvboba637 2659686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is like that - won't eat nonsnack, nonfruit foods 2 days in a row. It's like he's secretly saying I already ate that mom why are we eating it again. On Sunday he loved the turkey (we had a late thanksgiving dinner, but on tues he wouldn't touch it). It's hard to find him something hearty and nutritious to eat when we're eating leftovers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-picky-toddler-always-eat#post-2659683 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 01:11:50 +0000 mamainthesun 2659683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the moment cucumber and avocado. But sometimes it's there and he won't touch it. Also cheese </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-picky-toddler-always-eat#post-2659675 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 00:26:18 +0000 Dahlia 2659675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catgirl: The problem is I never know what she's going to like on a given day! Goldfish are the only constant. Everything else she loves on Monday, hates on Tuesday. I guess she's not so much picky as has intense cravings! :)</p> <p>@junebugsmama: Tried those tonight. Despite loving them in the past, wouldn't touch them. </p> <p>@youboots: DD loves raspberries, but will only eat them in the driveway from our raspberry bushes, and we live in a climate with a short growing season! :grin: </p> <p>Oh well, we'll keep playing "guess what you want to eat." Like I said, she still eats pretty healthy and she does love pouches (as long as they have a green cap - ha!) so I'm not worried from a nutritional perspective. I think I'm just having a hard time adjusting to having a toddler with opinions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-picky-toddler-always-eat#post-2659665 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 23:36:58 +0000 youboots 2659665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's not picky but will always eat raspberries </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-picky-toddler-always-eat#post-2659662 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 23:22:58 +0000 iluvboba637 2659662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bread, strawberries, oatmeal made with milk, granola bar, goldfish, graham crackers, usually rice or pasta, and usually other fruits, but he does have fruits he refuses too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-picky-toddler-always-eat#post-2659646 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 23:03:03 +0000 808love 2659646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>always fruit/berries </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-picky-toddler-always-eat#post-2659641 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 22:57:34 +0000 littlejoy 2659641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Beans &amp; rice, mac &amp; cheese, and pretzels.

The foods she would always eat - plain pasta (preferably a fun shape), cheese cubes, berries, chicken sausage, peas, broccoli, bread, and sweet potatoes. We always offered one thing she liked and would rotate other things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-picky-toddler-always-eat#post-2659608 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 21:41:56 +0000 Dahlia 2659608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, yogurt works 80% of the time. I think the only thing with a better success rate is goldfish.

She'll be clearly starving but refuse to eat anything until we figure out the exact food she's been craving. Which varies from day to day. And of course she's only got a few words, none of which are food products :bummed: </p> <p>What will your picky toddler always eat? Any ideas for helping her tell us what she wants? I'm not worried about her not eating enough, but she gets really fussy when she's hungry and drives us nuts! </p>
