[quote=Anonymous]OP, I seriously had to re-read your post to make sure I didn't write it. Except for the fact that mine is a boy and he is 23 months, everything else is exactly like you describe. He went through phases of eating almost anything I put in front of him, but that stopped at about 14 months. Since then it's been crackers, milk, yogurt pouches, cereal sometimes and fruit. Out of desperation I even buy him McDonalds chicken nuggets, but he just eats the french fries. No pizza, no mac&cheese, no pasta, no rice or  potatoes. He hasn't had a green veggie since we stopped the baby food. He does eat omelet, tiny pieces of cheese quesadilla and these stir-fried asian noodles I found at Costco.

He is growing so his doctor so far has always said to just keep offering and that his diet isn't so bad. And he does get offered a huge variety, not because I cook so much, but I still have him signed up for the food plan at his daycare and they have a pretty good menu. Every day I read the report and it always says he ate "very little" at lunch. But his 2 yr appointment is coming up and I am going to look for some more help - I am planning on ruling out any other issues and then doing the "eat what's in front of you or go hungry" thing. I am just waiting for him to grow a little more because I can't stand him crying over this. I am hoping to reason with him eventually:)[/quote]
