I have a 2 yr and 3 yr old. And they are both picky eaters. I've tried to add variety into their diets and follow the food pyramid but they snuff and say they don't want it. I've tried doing the whole, take food away and place it back at the table, but I think they'd rather starve. I've had to stick with PB and J, mac & cheese, grilled cheese, yogurts, and every now and then a pasta dish. I feel that they are not get the adaquate nutrition that they need. I've been giving them a daily vitamin and a fruit and veggie vitamin (supposed to be comparable to 2 servings of fruits and veggies a day). My doctor told me that my 2 year old has low iron. I'm very concerned that they may be malnurished but I just can't seem to get them to eat. Does anyone have any ideas?
Oh yeah, the 3 year old is a big influence to his sister, I feel that if I can get him to eat the 2yr old will follow suit.
