UGH!
Jack used to love his veggies. He'd eat baby food veggies out of a jar. He'd eat real veggies too.
Now the real veggies are flung to the floor. And he sends the the baby food veggies dribbling down his chin.

Today my mission is to get a veggie into this kid if it kills me.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Ohhh yes. Here too. Amelia used to eat everything under the sun, and now it's a guessing game. She spits and throws veggies suddenly too. It's so frustrating.

For what it's worth, Anabelle is 4 and still goes in phases. One day broccoli is her "favorite". The next week she tells me it's gross.

Sigh. Gotta love the guessing game!

I just put it all on their plates anyway and consider myself lucky if anything gets eaten.

I hate to say I don't have any real helpful adive, cause Ronald loves all veggies. The child has eaten brussell sprouts (they are one of his faves) for goodness sakes.

Have you tied just giving him on carrots and corn? They are a little bit sweeter. It might be he is just going through a stage where he is trying to control one of the few things in his life he can. Maybe you can hide them mixed in with other food he does love (mashed potatoes, etc..)

Hope any of this can help.

We love our veggies. My LO's fav right now is Asparagus, or "beans", as he calls them. I just hate the stinky pee it gives him.

He likes most any vegetable that I pan sear or grill, like squash and zuccini. That's what I'll cook if he hasn't eaten well all day... to make it up!

A few nights ago, I was busy and decided to bring home some KFC. The LO loves my mashed potatoes, but when I fed him these, he wouldn't close his mouth. "AAAA", he says with a scowl. He wouldn't spit them out or swallow them. Finally, I had to dig them out of his mouth with my finger. Yuck. No more KFC!

Thankfully, my son loves veggies, but my 3 year-old daughter isn't as big a fan. She'd rather have pasta and bread and sweets all day if she could. However, there are a few that she likes a lot - cauliflower, cucumbers, tomatoes sometimes - so I just make sure I always have those onhand. And I keep trying to re-introduce other ones to see if she'll go for them. She also loves fruit and will eat loads of it, so I know she's getting fresh food and all the benefits of that, but after having my first child be such a good and non-picky eater, it has been a hard adjustment to figure out how to handle her.

FunnyMummy-ROTFL!!!! Ronald has done the same thing with mashed potatoes that I made! I guess he just didn't like the texture!

I think it's definitely Jack trying to throw his weight around. LOL
After struggling with him for 20 minutes to eat cauliflower (his fav), he finally is sitting there happily eating it.
He did the same thing with his milk when he woke up today. He loves his milk. But he fought me tooth and nail and then after all that fuss he wanted it.
Oh man. I hope we don't have to fight like this EVERY day. And if so, for how long?

I heard about the following book, minus all the bad publicity, the concept sounds awesome:

Jessica Seinfeld, the comedian Jerry Seinfeld’s wife, has a hot best seller with “Deceptively Delicious," a cookbook for parents of picky eaters.

What she does is puree veggies and add them into kid friendly meals as a hidden ingredient. Some dishes include brownies, chicken nuggets and spaghetti sauce.

The problem I have with the whole concept of Jessica Seinfeld's book (and the one that she supposedly stole the idea from) is that sneaking veggies into your kids' diet doesn't teach them to enjoy and appreciate vegetables. What happens when they grow up and have to fend for themselves? What will they eat then?

OK, so now he's eating veggies again.
Hot, cold, hot, cold....LOL
