[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I do appreciate all of the feedback even when I know we may be a bit firmer than other parents on the feeding issue. Son likes bland food the best. Ours is seasoned. I don't mind not seasoning his food as much but I'm not cooking a different meal every night for him and I'm not giving him nuggets on the side every night. We sit down as a family for 30 minutes to eat. We sit with him an additional 30 minutes after to be in his area while he eats. It takes an additional 30 minutes alone for him to eat it all. It's not that he doesn't like the food, it's just that he likes it a certain way. He doesn't need cheese every time he has broccoli. If we are our of it, he still needs to eat it. He is totally fine with skipping dinner and eating at breakfast but remind you, he gets what he wants at breakfast, which contains sugar.... So at dinner, I expect one balance meal out of the day. He is a healthy and good kid. He will eat 5... Yes 5 slices of pizza at one sitting but takes one hour to eat one broccoli. Not acceptable for us. His portions are super small. Think a half of cup of each, even if that. Always welcomed for seconds or thirds. [/quote]
