[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By not making it a big deal. Don't cook separately for your toddler. Offer what you have for dinner and let him choose. Also, he is 13 months old, way too early to think about giving in or not giving in. Have something he will eat for your dinner. Trust me, it all works out and if you are worrying now you are only creating a problem. Now, I am not saying stop at McD three times a day for your baby, but just have whatever you eat and offer it.[/quote] I think this is correct. We have the same food philosophy as OP. Both our kids around 1-1.5 suddenly became picky eaters, and by the time they got to 2 or 2.5 they were great again, eating everything from sushi to broccoli. One thing we did was to have a “backup” dinner food. “Every night at dinner you can have what’s for dinner, or if you don’t like it you can have plain yogurt with applesauce or hummus.” Kids went to the backup every once in a while but in the end not very much.[/quote]
