I'm very intrigued by Ellen Slatter's division of responsibility with food, up until now my very picky toddler has had breast milk to fall back on so her motivation to eat has been minimal. We're good about family dinner but breakfast and lunch are hit or miss with us sitting down together and we typically serve food we know she will like.

My specific questions are- did you always feed this way or did you implement it later? If later how did you start?

What about casserole or sauce heavy type meals? Enchiladas for example I usually serve her a deconstructed version without sauce. Good idea?

Do you still serve "toddler" meals at times?

I am a super picky eater so I'm probably over thinking but I appreciate the help!
