That was a quote from a dad on line at the deli about our four-year olds' eating habits. But hard to laugh lately as my son keeps getting sick and has viral induced asthma! So I really want to find a way to get him eating better. Anyone out there found ways to battle this spiral into pickier and pickier eating? Mine used to eat everything except meat, then even sometimes would eat meat, then slowly started saying he didn't like everything, and now some days i feel like he won't even eat noodles, though he will usually eat Annie's from the box. But really that is one of the only sure things and it used to be everything!
To make matters worse, while I was feeling so bad motherish about this -- Snide mother at park feeding her children HOMEMADE DEHYDRATED ALASKAN SALMON SNACKS, when I asked how she got them to eat that, went on and on about all the crazy and crazily healthy things they eat (apparently buffalo livers were their first food or something) and then sneered, "Well, do you let him? Do you cave in? Mine knew they wouldn't eat til the morning and so they learned to eat everything."
I can't do this, not feeding him at all cause he won't eat?!
