[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my 3 dc is an extremely picky eater but not special needs per se. He is 9 and has not eaten a vegetable past infancy. He does take gummy multivitamins. He recently began eating sliced apples and strawberries after most of his life only eating a specific brand of fruit pouch as his only fruit.

He is perfectly healthy, growing and very athletic and tested into AAP. He just has an insanely sensitive palate. He sits at the nut free table b/c other people's food often makes him literally gag.

Over the years I have researched OTs, feeding programs, tried all kinds of approaches. The feeding programs really seem to have limited or mixed success and involve a lot of time, energy, effort and tears to get a child to take one bite of one food.

If you can get him to take a multivitamin and he gets enough calcium, I would just keep doing what you are doing at home. [/quote]

It’s not all about nutrients.  one issue becomes the social aspect of eating.  [/quote]
