Tips For Picky Eaters

What a breakthrough.

Today we decided to just let Ozzy decide whether he liked to eat or not. No forcing, no bribing, no arguing over what to eat and when to eat. So, in the morning when he refused to eat - I let him be.

By 11am he asked his nanny for food. He ate a whole lot of rice and veggies. This cycle will go on until he learns the importance of a good meal all by himself. I learned from the show Doctors that picky eaters should start their meals by an empty plate, they should learn to have the initiative of choosing what to eat. Ignore him if he does not start to eat and just continue eating in the table. To made mealtime fun, try having dips (Oz loves mayo+ketchup) or try cutting veggies in fun shapes.

Hope some of the tip helps. Xo
