[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, my older daughter is what you call a "good" eater. She has very few dislikes, and she will try most anything. She enjoys veggies, etc...  Internally, I just "knew" that it was due to my great parenting. We didn't offer her any "kiddie" food in the toddler years. We employed the mantra. [i]They eat what we eat, or they go hungry.[/i]

Oh, how wrong I was. My youngest, who is wonderfully independent, will throw 20 minute tantrums, when she doesn't get what she wants. One of those "wants" are peanut butter sandwiches. She asks for them first thing in the morning, for snacks, for lunch and sometimes for dinner. Many of her tantrums involve a PB decline from mom. These last 10-20 minutes and end with the typical cry out for Mom or Dad for comfort.

Question: Is it OK to let her eat 2-3 of these per day? We make them on those whole wheat sandwich thins and I probably use 1-2 TBSP of peanut butter.

Question: Any advice on breaking her of this desire?

Peanut butter is a staple in the diet of many children.  It won't hurt her.  My nephew refused to eat anything but peanut butter, pizza, french fries, and cherios until he was ten.  He is now over 6 feet tall, thin,l and in college and eats like a horse.  I might also add that when he came to my house he ate what was served and often asked for seconds.  [/quote]
