My son 18months is very picky eater, he just had he's milk instead of solid food, is that okay?
Answers:
I don't know if that is okay, but I'm pretty sure it's not the best.
I recommend that you ask a doctor or do some research on a healthy diet for toddlers. Once you know what he should be eating, give him the foods and drinks that are good for him. If he refuses to eat them, don't just give him something he likes. He will likely cry and scream and throw a fit. But don't give in or you'll just be encouraging that behavior. Make him wait until the next meal, or the meal after that if necessary. Eventually, he will be hungry enough and eat the foods that you give him. After a while, maybe a week or two or a month, he will be eating whatever you give him with little or no complaint (I think).
It's important to teach him healthy eating habits early. If you give him foods that are healthy now, he has a much better chance of growing up big and strong....and liking good healthy foods throughout his life.
PS I just want to agree with one of the other answers. Don't force him to eat. You can regulate what he eats when he has the opportunity to eat it (meals and snack times), but never insist that he eats. He will eat when he's hungry.
Yeah is ok I was exactly like then I grew out of it your son will to. Keep making nourishes meals tell him to have at least 3 bites.
