My 22 month old doesn't eat 99% of the food I give him. He never eats meats, or vegetables no matter how i try serving them (and I have tried everyway I know). Of the fruit, he will sometimes eat apple or banana and occasionally watermelon. He will eat frozen french toast, or an occasional frozen waffle, bagel with peanut butter, and many different cookies and crackers. thats about it. Per Dr. instructions I am suppose to give him what ever he wants as long as he is eating 5-6 times a day to keep his body hungry, and must take formula or PEDIASURE for vitamins, and calories. I have tried to force him to eat--nothing. I have tried not give him anything until he eats the substantial food given to him, but after 1 1/2 days, I give in. He only weighs 20 lbs depending on the day. If he doesn't want something I am trying to get him to eat, he will scream/cry and make himself gag/throw up until everyone else in the house is fed up. It is frustrating and defeating, and I am at a loss.
