Growing up I was a picky eater. My mom has told me that as a small child she was convinced there was something wrong with me because I was just that tiny.
As I grew older I stayed a picky eater and wasn't above making gagging noises at the table to get my point across.
My mom still worried but I survived and the Dr. told her to chill; all was well.
Now that I have given birth to my own picky eater I just wanted to tell my mom I was sorry.
My child was not picky as a baby. Born a preemie at 26 weeks her body consumed food like it was going out of style. Which was fine with me. She needed the calories. By 6 months I had to move her to solids.
By age 2 there wasn't anything she wouldn't eat. If her father ate it...she ate it. Vienne wennies, toast, sardines(bad daddy),cranberries, meatloaf, combo pizzas, ect...
By age 7 the pickiness kicked in.
Suddenly only chicken nuggets,cheese pizza,grilled cheese sandwiches,f/f's were it.
No meat that wasn't fried. No veggies. No fruit.
This kid could revile me on the gag noises.
Of course, I couldn't let her eat just those above things so I had to become creative.

Seriously...this book and website ROCKS!!
Will I lie to my child about what's in her favorite foods?
YES!!!
This book and her website has incredible tips and tricks to get your picky eater to not only eat new foods but to like them.
Of course, this hasn't stopped the war. But it has made the battle much easier
Mom, I'm sorry. Your were right. Gagging at the dinner table DOES sound gross. :)
