Ideas On How To Get DS To Eat?

For us, the earlier they eat the better. Sometimes I give them dinner at 3pm.

Sometimes going '5 mouthfuls and you can have a chocolate' and counting down on our fingers works too, on the desperate days.

We have the same problem with DS.. hes been fussy since he was a baby. Still wont eat vegies.. and hes so damn stubborn, if you were to say, eat that or there will be no chocolate, he'll say ok i dont want chocolate. But one thing he loves is smoothies. So since he was about 18 months, he has had 1 everyday for lunch, filled with fruit. Loves them.

But, as of a month ago, hes actually been starting to try new things. Before then if he didnt know what it was and like it, he wouldnt try it. So just hang in there, its just a phase, and over time he will come past it. I just make sure DS gets multivitamins everyday also.
