She will eat pretty much anything except for mashed potatoes. If she says she doesn't like something, it's because she truly doesn't. She will at least try everything. She loves to eat!!</p> <p>Ds is only 8 months so I don't know about him yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2382000 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 15:22:53 +0000 ValentineMommy 2382000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: For real.....my son ate a new food during the evaluation. Just walked up and ate it, like it was no big deal. I was 1/2 amazed and 1/2 pissed. Like, are you doing this on purpose child?? haha. But seriously, it's strange. They do the exact same techniques I was trying at home, but they work for them and not for me. He is getting to the point where he gets very proud of himself for trying new foods and is gaining confidence. He's even tried one of his major gag/trigger foods (pasta) and taken a few successful bites. It's been wonderful. I hope it works for your son too!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2381912 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 14:20:47 +0000 skipra 2381912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: Thanks for letting me know that! We went to our evaluation and they recommended therapy. It was amazing just at the evaluation he was more willing to touch and play with food than at home. I am cautiously optimistic that it will help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2381906 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 14:17:22 +0000 ValentineMommy 2381906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: We are in the same boat. DS1 has a sensory issue, only pertaining to food. We started taking him to therapy, and since going, he's tried 85 new foods! It's crazy how much it's helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360994 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 09:02:07 +0000 Alivoo01 2360994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say no. DS is a pretty good eater despite the days he doesn't want to eat in general. </p> <p>Hoping DD will be a great eater too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360914 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 08:35:55 +0000 LuLu Mom 2360914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 no if she's hungry she eats anything but LO2 I think she will be! She's only been eating for about 2 months but she is not a huge fan of food! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360901 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 08:26:59 +0000 BananaPancakes 2360901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Super picky. Like @skipra, we currently have DS in food / eating therapy because we finally got his GI issues under control. We're so exhausted having to bring food everywhere because he only eats a few things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360885 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 08:14:38 +0000 Canoli 2360885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: our kids are twins! Mine is 4 and eats no vegetables and the only fruit is blueberries so we still do pouches also and have to take food with us everywhere we go that he will eat. Good luck at your spot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360825 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 05:44:35 +0000 Andrea 2360825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I wouldn't call my kids picky. It seems like they've both outgrown it. Not saying that they will eat everything that's out there, but it's not a battle to get them to eat what I cook and we eat almost every meal at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360815 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 05:38:10 +0000 lamariniere 2360815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are both fairly picky, unfortunately, and I think I serve a pretty wide variety of foods. DS is afraid of vegetables, but he's at the age where he understands and follows the "must try everything" rule, so at least there's that. DD is odd. If she is really hungry, she will eat pretty much anything. If she's not, you could try to give her chocolate and she still wouldn't eat it. She consistently doesn't like meat, cheese and eggs, but will eat more veggies than her brother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360804 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 04:39:14 +0000 hellobeeboston 2360804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Very picky 3-year old. I hope he grows out of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360769 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 00:30:03 +0000 BabyTsMom 2360769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It really seems like it depends on the day. Sigh. Some days he's willing to try anything and other days, forget about it! Overall I consider him a pretty good eater but there are definitely days that I can't figure him out: like one day he'll eat a ton of something and a few days later he refuses the same exact thing. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360650 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 21:37:18 +0000 Mae 2360650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. She's finicky in that she'll eat something one day and not the next. But I feel like given her age she eats a good variety of food. And she likes veggies more than I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360649 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 21:36:21 +0000 BeachMama 2360649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is definitely picky. I can't get her to even try a bite of most foods, no matter how much I try to enforce it. The only veggie she eats is carrots, and freeze dried peas and edamame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360645 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 21:32:04 +0000 skipra 2360645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Canoli: yes! Sounds exactly the same! He is 3 and I still have to feed him pouches to get veggies into him. Our appointment with the specialist is in a few weeks so interested if they think the same thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360614 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 21:04:20 +0000 Canoli 2360614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: wow! Sounds exactly like my son. We noticed problems when we tried to transition from purée to chunkier foods. He doesn't eat pasta or Mac and chees for that matter. I thought that was a staple in kids diet 😀 we thought he had a sensory/texture issue as well but the OT and ST don't think so. We've only had one visit with them so far and go back in 6 weeks so we'll see where this goes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360607 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 21:01:13 +0000 Tidybee 2360607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No - I really can't complain. She doesn't eat a lot of what DH and I eat, but she eats well for a 3 yr old. Every fruit I can think of, some veggies, and chicken. Hates pasta and potatoes though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360599 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 20:58:46 +0000 skipra 2360599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 is the definition of picky eater but I actually think it is a sensory issue. He has had issues with food since he was a baby and has always only eaten a very limited diet. We finally FINALLY got him to try some new foods (for example: pasta) and he gags before it even touches his lips. Previously he just refused food. We are going to see a feeding specialist.<br /> To make up for that LO2 will eat pretty much anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360579 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 20:48:53 +0000 Canoli 2360579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest is absolutely an incredibly picky eater. We recently took him to a feeding clinic for help. We have a long road ahead of us but it's very frustrating.</p> <p>My little guy, however, will eat anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360359 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 18:26:03 +0000 MrsStar 2360359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep lo1 is a picky eater, drives me nuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360344 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 18:07:08 +0000 regberadaisy 2360344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I wouldn't consider then picky. Especially in comparison to what I've seen and read... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360307 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 17:32:16 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2360307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He eats a variety. But not a lot. Couple bites here and there. Just not a big water I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360299 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 17:28:56 +0000 snowjewelz 2360299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For now no, she pretty much will put anything in her mouth. She def has stuff she clearly likes better, but she'll eat anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360285 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 17:19:52 +0000 HLK208 2360285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest and youngest are great eaters. They eat all their veggies, meat, fruit, etc. </p> <p>My middle child is the picky one. She loves fruit and carbs...thats about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-your-lo-a-picky-eater#post-2360202 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 16:48:09 +0000 Bao 2360202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do get a little frustrated when my kids won't try something, but for the most part they will. I know kids can be finicky with foods but I wouldn't say my kids are picky. Picky to me is my niece, she literally will only eat 4-6 things and half of it is crackers of some sort. I have no idea how she survives, she hasn't touched one fruit or veggie since she was an infant. </p>
