[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP. 
what foods does she eat willingly? 
I don’t think you give in to junk food and give up on all fruits/veggies but there is a happy medium. 
So like if I was serving a casserole that I wasn’t sure my kid would eat, I might also do bread, and fruit, available to everyone. So at least my kid will have bread and fruit and not go hungry. [/quote]

Op - yes she likes fruit and pasta. Pretty much no protein other than chicken nuggets (gross) and bacon. Sometimes rice. Other than that she likes snacks. I try and limit those as much as possible. She just is getting such horrible nutrition I am worried! No vegetables at all! I try and make her eat them and she gags. [/quote]

Does she gag at every preparation of vegetables? Raw, steamed, and roasted? Even with butter and things like lemon and honey for flavor? I always found that strange of picky kids—the gagging when something is consistent (like yogurt/pudding/condiments) makes sense to me, but gagging at any and all vegetables seems like it’s psychological more than physical [/quote]
