In my case it did.

I fed my kids real food — the same type of food the rest of the family was eating (with minor modifications for safety.) Guess what? Years later my kids happily eat a huge variety of food and we’ve never had issues with eating. My friends who relied on pouches and other prepackaged foods are dealing with all sorts of picky eating and have so many food rules at their house. They actually count the number of bites their kids eat! I think it’s something like they have to eat their age in bites or something ridiculous like that. It sounds exhausting. At my house my kids eat when they’re hungry, stop when they’re full. I cook one meal for everyone.

And you think that has something to do with anything you’ve done?

It’s dumb luck, lady. Stop patting yourself on the back.[/quote]

Seriously. We cook one meal for the family and my 4.5 year old chooses to go to bed hungry most nights. Her stomach was growling when she was brushing her teeth for bed tonight.

Are you serious? I don’t think that is something to be pleased with or bragging about: your child going to bed hungry “most nights” with a rumbling stomach so loud you can hear? You must be joking. A preschooler should not be dealing with daily hunger pangs and food insecurity because you’re on some high nutritional horse you don’t want to budge from. If this is seriously a daily thing, you need a wake up call about the myriad types of damage you are likely inflicting on her. [/quote]

I think that poster is a troll, PP.[/quote]
