i have a 2 1/2 yr old that will NOT try anything new and will only eat a small amount of select foods she loves all fruits and yogurt so were good there, but other than that , thats the only healthy food shell eat the rest is chicken nuggets, fries, hot dogs, pizza and every type of chip and chocolate. and if i actually get her to try somehting new she makes her self throw up the moment it hits her mouth. i want to get her in the habit of eating what we eat for dinner but she just wont budge she tells me ill eat nothing then any ideas of how i can introduce foods to her without her feeling forced, i always make her a plate of what were eating and only serve her that but she will immediately toss it on the floor or throw a fit and so i send her to her room and leave the food on the table and if she asks for somehting i tell her there it is and thats when i get the, than nothing mommy response ANY IDEAS if so please share

my kid will not eat either... but if you just keep putting food in front of her and catering to her... she will eat when she is hungry... trust me it works!
