He's 2.5 now, he doesn't like to eat fruits or veggies because he doesn't like the way they feel. You might be able to get him to eat an orange, and I do get him to eat applesauce... sometimes.

Mostly, it's cheese, cheesy hot dogs, and chicken nuggets. Sometimes the occasional sliver of steak or turkey burger.

He's not overweight, he's been underweight his whole life... but he's not nutritionally deficient according to the pediatrician and blood tests.

I think fruits or veggies first either way... I just don't trust the doctors to tell me how to raise my son.

If you have 400-mile long arms, yes. Otherwise, a will suffice.

If I remember correctly, Suz posted it first...........Post #61

Well, not only does she endanger the child, but she opens herself up to liability/negligence because she has clearly stated he cannot be trusted to tie his own shoe, but she listened to him anyway.

Suz -- you need to drop your holier than thou attitude and realize that you had your chance at parenthood. It's now Che's (and your son's) turn. Back off or you'll lose any chance at every seeing your grandchild.

She may not earn a parent of the year award, but so far as I know, neither did you. Quit dogging out your grandchild's mother because you feel you could do a better job. She's young, she doesn't know it all -- you know that, I know that, we all know that -- but you're not helping matters any by acting like some pompous ass, which IS what you come across as when you start flinging your income, ability to laze around the house, and your hubby's truck. Here's a clue -- what has all that crap done for you? Did it make your kids better contributors to society? No. Does it make you better than anyone else? Don't think so.

Come back down to reality, or don't biatch when you have a family tree full of grand-chitlins who have nothing to do with you.

GREEN KARMA FOR YOU!

For a person of "grandmotherly" age, you're sad, pathetic, and should be ashamed of yourself. It's no freaking wonder ... And FYI, money doesn't make people better. You think leaving them a pile of money when you kick the bucket is going to perform some miracle (after you're gone, no less), you're mistaken. There are just as many worthless wealthy people as their are poor ones. Money doesn't define your character.

Unfortunately, it sounds like we ALL have to worry about your grandchild since your son (to your own admission) isn't supporting him properly ... looks like the taxpayers will be taking up his slack.

MORE GREEN FOR YOU!

My oldest used to love spinach baby food. I would gag with every bite. Smelled horrible so I could only imagine what it tasted like. My second child didn't eat alot of baby food. He was more adventurous and started soft solids pretty early like yogurt, apple sause, etc. Plus I would put our dinner in the mini processor and chop it up into a soft consistency. My older son had too much of a gag reflex and was still having to have his food chopped up at age 3.

Good grief. Though I did pay attention to the stage numbers, Princess was fed foods in the order of their ease to grab off the shelf at Walmart. "Sweet tooth" is a joke. That kid will eat just about anything she can fit in her mouth. In fact, the only things I've seen her spit out are sweets.

The problem with listening hardcore to your doc, is that every few years, all the rules change. What's good now is bad later. What's bad now, is OK in moderation later. It's fricken' nuts. Do what your kid responds well to, within the bounds of common sense and you'll be fine.

I mean anything is better than that nast rice cereal i am giving him now.

I Remember when i was trying to get him to eat it the first time I fed it to him
I said look che watch mommy,

And i took a big bite of it so he could watch me do it,

....and i had to spit that crap out..lol..

but he doesnt seem to mind the taste since he doesnt have anything else to compare it to

I didn't feed my little one anything that I wouldn't try first. I was told veggies first and she ate some but definately loved the fruits more. I settled on the fact that I was trying to give her practice on eating, not really looking for the food to fill her up, so whatever she would eat I gave her. The doctor told me that the food was in addition to her normal bottles, not to cut back on her bottles so if she ate that was great, if not o'well. Heck, she was eating ice cream and cake at 10 months because she loved it. As a matter of fact, she only ate baby food for maybe 2 months and then moved onto table food and never looked back - so we were feeding her off our plates at 7 months.

Well, I tried giving che the baby food today. It was the cereal mixed with apple. I figured that he did so well with the regular gerber rice cereal, he may enjoy something with more taste.

i did try it first this time and it wasnt bad.

He made a weird face and stuck his tongue out. he didnt seem that interested. i tried for about 10 minutes and he just was not liking it at all.

Im going to try again in a little bit, maybe he wasnt hungry.
