What do you do when...

you have the pickiest eater in the whole wide world. At least that's the way I feel. My little man just will not eat but certain things. I've had many people tell me "make him eat what's put in front of him- starve him he'll eat eventually- set rules-" and the list goes on and on. I admit he loves sweets and he'll give new sweets a try so I've really buckled down on his sweets and will not allow him to have them unless he eats some real food. This is really getting under my skin- it's all I think about come lunch and dinner. I didn't mention breakfast b/c he loves breakfast... although I think breakfast isn't the healthiest unless you bake the good'ol bacon, eggs, and biscuits with gravy... well this is the 21st century and who gets up and cooks that every morning... so he has cereal, pancakes, bacon, toast, fruit, and a pop-tart when we're on the go first thing in the morning. He will not eat eggs... and yes he's tried them and knows he doesn't like them. He takes vitamins but he's just so skinny and looks like he's getting skinnier... yes it's summer time and the kid doesn't stop going from morning to night but what do I do to put some meat on his bones? Any ideas out there you'd like to share.

I am so equally frustrated!! Noah is the same way and has been since he started on table foods. I have been through all the same things as you. Noah is a sweet addict as well, so I have to buckle down and not give him any, hardly ever. Even choco milk is very few and far between. If you find something that works let me know and I will do the same! Good luck
