My daughter is 20 months old. For the first 18 months of her life, her favorite foods consisted of peas, spinach, carrots, sweet potatos, etc. Then she hit 19 months and ever since has refused all veggies (except sweet potatos), refused just about all foods and will only eat mac & cheese, chicken fingers, potatos, grilled cheese, macaroni & meatballs, yogurt and rice. That is it! If I even dare put a veggie in any of those, she then won't eat it.
Any suggestions? What do I do? Today she refused lunch and I just wasn't serving anything else ... it was chicken noodle soup with carrots and celery in it. She had it once before and liked it so I don't think that's it. I finally ended lunch and didnt offer her anything else. She didn't even take one bite!!!!!!!! I figure when nap time is over, I will offer it again and if not, she won't eat until dinner!
What else can I do? I don't want her to think she can refuse foods until she gets one of her three favorites.
