Thanks so much everyone for all of your input.

The first thing my son ate was broccoli so it's not a new food, and fried zucchini or green beans used to be a favourite but he wont eat them anymore either.

I usually put just one piece of every vegetable we are having with dinner on his plate, so it's not a lot but the pieces are more like finger food size so perhaps I'll make little pieces to see if he likes them. He generally wont eat anything that has lots of small pieces of vegetables though- I can't get him to eat bolognaise or meatloaf for example and I put a lot of grated & small chopped veggies in those. I have no issue with "hiding" vegetables in those things as adding vegetables where ever you can is just normal cooking as far as I'm concerned.

I would like him to eat green vegetables because they are the one thing we should eat the MOST of and he eats none! I know these stages can be normal toddler stuff but I remember seeing a friend gently "insist" her son ate some of his salad when he must have been about 2 1/2 to 3 and he did it with no stress so I'd love to be able to do the same but I know it's too early now. I would never insist he finish his plate or continue eating something he dislikes, but I want him to at least try a bite.

My eldest son is a resistant eater and it's been one of the hardest things I've ever dealt with so I guess I'm pretty anxious second time around. My eldest did the same decline of dropping off foods that just got worse and worse so I guess I'm also nervous about seeing that happening again.

Thanks for sharing what worked in your family.
