my ds is 18 months old and only eats a handful of foods.
his favorites are:
*american cheese
*bread and butter
*yogurt
*string cheese
*crackers
*pears
*pizza
*macaroni and cheese
i can get him to eat other foods by mixing it into yogurt (ie. applesauce, bananas, pureed squash, sweet potatoes, etc.), tomato sauce, mac and cheese, or baking it into a muffin. that being said, i'm really running out of ideas here!! yesterday, his meals consisted of a banana muffin for breakfast, grilled cheese (w/ squash puree) for lunch and dinner was yogurt w/ sweet potatoes and a cheese quesadilla. i try offering him other foods, and he just throws it on the floor. every night, we serve him what we're eating and 9 times out of 10, he throws it, but i keep offering bc i know that's important. most nights he barely eats dinner. he's still nursing so i'm not worried about his nutrition too much. i'm just in a rut and i'm bored with his food preferences. i need some other suggestions of what i can try or other snack i can give. he loves carbs (bread, crackers, pasta-not so much), but i worry about his protein intake. i discovered he will eat eggs if it's disguised in a grilled cheese. sometimes he will eat almond butter, but not always. i would love to hear any suggestions!!
