[quote=Anonymous]Hi everybody. Thanks for all your responses. I posted this a while ago and tried to follow the advice of letting it go.

I'm having one of those nights.... perhaps my blood sugar is low right now but I am having trouble with this issue right now.

My mom makes soup mostly, sometimes with and sometimes without msg. Since it is soup, she spoon feeds him, not following advice of doctor to let him feed himself.  Last night, he didn't even want that and kept pointing to cheerios on the table and she said "oh, you don't want? You want cheerios instead? here you go.." without even trying.

She's come over every other day this week. Also, when he is with me, I am tired after coming home from work and often doesn't get the right meal I want to serve him. I feel like it is so difficult to feed him now because he is so picky. I too, just want to give him what he wants--crackers, tasty msg soup and no veggies ever! My nanny gives him what I leave but she also would of course rather give him the foods that he'd like to eat too. It's hard to ask her to give him veggie every day. I slipped a little this week and even though I had broccoli chopped in the refrigerator this week, he didn't get it at all because I forgot to tell her about it and if I don't say anything, she just picks from the fridge what she thinks he would like. Today it was tons of pear and cheerios.

I feel like I'm fighting a battle with everyone who helps me and I feel so bad about that. I want to do what the pediatrician says and give him an option of healthy veggies, grains on his tray and have him self feed but this only happens maybe once a week.

I'm scared that I'm training my 13 month old to eat unhealthy and it just gets harder from here.

I made him roasted broccoli with paprika on top and he tasted it and spit it out and that was that. He had milk and toast for dinner.[/quote]
