Picky Eaters

[ghye]

My son at times is a picky eater.  But for the past month na ako lang kasama niya since we don;t have a yaya and househelp anymore, I got to let him eat whatever is on the table and thankfully I'm successful with it.  The problem comes when everytime his father comes home (every other week), he again tends to say no especially vegetables for he knows that his dad will give in to his wishes.  As per his father, he's just making time for the days that he's not home that's why he gives in to his son's wants. haaayyyy.

Hello Mommies! My 8 yr old son is also a picky eater. And Its really hard to teach them to eat fruits and vegetables especially when we are not always around. What his pedia suggests is to give him supplement that will supply the nutrients which are not present from the food that he only eats. SO far naman its doing him good but ibinibilin pa din sa house helper na kahit pakonti konti pakainin ng gulay. Since he took his vitamins di naman sya nagkakasakit and walang cravings sa mga unhealthy food like junk foods and chocolates

hanggang ngayon nandito pa rin ako sa thread na to .. hindi pa rin kami nakakamove on sa milk..
3.5 yrs old na ang anak ko .. super hina pa rin sa solids. ang liliit ng subo pero pag milk ang dami naman kaya ubusin. sa gabi ang milk nya nsa 20oz bago mag sleep. nakaka 30-50oz a day ng milk. kumakain sya pero more on bread toast or pancake lang. rice bihira. minsan ulam lang chicken or fish. pero super konti wala pang 1 tablespoon in total.  pag gutom sya milk talaga hihingin nya.  pag di mo binigyan iiyakan ka lang. ang payat tuloy nasa 15kg lang sya.. pag may sakit wala talagang solids. nagtry ako palitan ang vitamins ayaw rin nya mahirap painumin to ng gamot kung ano lang yung sanay sya na vitamins (ceelin at growee) yun lang ang gusto.

hi sis... same lang tayo, my daughter is super picky eater din.. as in di sya kumakain ng rice puro milk and crackers and apple juice lang. kasi nachochoke sya kapag kumakain ng other foods. we did was when we are praying, we always sa a pray and wish na eat sya rice, tapos set namin sa mind nya n kapag 3 na sya eat na sya rice. thank God kumakain na sya rice today pero gusto nya is yung malambot na rice and maraming soup. baka because of texture. kasi yun din sabi sa amin ng pedia. then kapag kumakain sya ng apple juice para may rice, hinahalomnamin ang rice sa apple. kaya nakakakain sya ng rice ng di nya rin alam. before, 12k sya last dec because she is super picky eater now after 4 months 15k na sya. try to set their minds first para mapakain sila at kahit matagal hanggang sa matuto.

Share ko lang din mga sis ang pagka picky eater ng 6 year old son ko.
Siya naman vegetables and rice mostly ang kinakain pag nasa bahay. Carrots, potatoes, sayote and squash. Tapos lagi may sabaw or sauce yung kanin. He also likes spaghetti, misua and pancit canton. Yun lang, ayaw niya ng meat. Minsan chicken skin lang sa fried chicken. Medyo nagwoworry din ako kasi siempre he needs protein while he grows up. He's also fond of eating chocolate flavored snacks.
Maganda ang weight niya pero gusto ko sana kumain na din siya ng meat like other kids. Yung ibang kids naeexcite pag may hotdog or chicken nuggets pero siya deadma. I know those are processed food pero minsan sana tumikim din siya.

may good days din naman kami minsan kaso bread lang gusto nya... mas maarte pag susubuan. ang liliit ng kagat pag sya mismo kumakain on his own mas madami nakakain. kaso madalas ayaw sumabay umupo sa kainan. 17kg na sya dati kaso bumaba sa 15kg nung nagkasakit.
