2. I have the same problem here.

My son will eat apples and bananas other than that he likes dairy and pasta and meats. He is almost 3 years old and in the 85th percentile for his weight and height and age.

As mentioned above, it could be a sensory issue, which my son has. Textures really gross him out. He never ate jar baby food. Sometimes he sees the food being prepared and is turned off.

He will pick onions and the like out of spaghetti sauce. So now I use the food processor to hide nutrition in the stuff he will eat.

I am looking for a blender so I can make smoothies to get him to eat some fresh fruit. I give him lots of 100 percent fruit juice which he likes. Looking forward to juice and fruit popsicles.

I have no help to offer you. I just want to let you know somebody else knows how you might feel. I just keep trying. I was a picky eater until I was in my early 20's.

Know that at the end of the day you are a good parent and did all that could be done and that tomorrow is a new day.
