Toddler Feeding Problem?
Question by hypnotik61985: Toddler feeding problem?
Hey, my son is 17 months old and won’t eat solids. He will only eat the second stage of baby foods, and he will only drink milk. He won’t even drink juice or water. The only food he will eat besides baby food is teddy grahams, and I mean nothing else, not cheerios not crackers not even goldfish crackers. I don’t know what to do, his ped isn’t much help. If I sneak a piece of something into his mouth he makes himself puke. I know he can chew the food, because he eats the teddy grahams just fine. Plus he has plenty of teeth, lol he has molars for god’s sakes. Please help, anybody this has been a real struggle for our family. Thanks!

Give him something you expect him to eat, and if he doesn’t eat it then take it away. He won’t starve himself. My niece went through a egg strike, and after 10 hours she went right to them when offered.
About the milk, water it down. You might have to start slow but once he gets used to watery milk it will get better. Of course offer him regular milk once a day too, mostly watered milk though.
