At a loss...

[luvmyboys2]

I dont know what to do anymore. I loathe dinner time.  I make various meals & I cant get my two LOs (ages 3 & almost 2) to eat ANYTHING!  I honestly cant tell you the last time either of them ate a piece of meat or veggies!  They will eat Fruit Loops, bananas, grapes, fruit snacks & cookies.  Now before anyone jumps on me, I do NOT give them fruit snacks & cookies just so that they'll eat... but those are the few things they WILL eat. Occasionally chicken nuggets, or a hot dog, but we dont make them for dinner meals & when I have given them either of them b/c I know they wont eat what Im making, they dont eat it.  I have no idea what to do. They're not skinny by any means, though they're not fat either. My 3 yr old is 34lbs & my 2 yr old is probably not far behind him, he'll have his check up in a few wks. But I know its not healthy the way that they're eating & I want them to eat SOMETHING w/ sustenance. Can anyone help?

only give them what you eat. tell them they can eat or starve...they will eat it eventually. stick to it

Give them V8 to drink. Kids go through all kinds of growth spurts and odd tastes, and generally it's really not that unhealthy, because they'll eat what they need when they're hungry and their odd tastes will fade. At least with V8 you know they're getting a full days' fruit and veggies.

our Dr. has always told us that our DD will eat when she wants to eat, not to force her to eat... she has never been  a meat eater but has always loved fruits and veges! I hope they start eating for you soon...

My 3 year old will not eat vegetables no matter what. I bought a pack of those Fruitables kids drinks that have a serving of veggies in them. He loves the drinks, so at least he is getting his serving of veggies that way. You may want to try those.

Thank you everyone. I think Im definitely going to try the V8 or fruit & veggie drinks... I just dont want to be giving in when they're hungry but wont eat what Im serving you know? I dont want them to go hungry, but when they turn away pretty much everything else, what do I do. Thank you all for your input :)
