Picky eater, this was the advice from my mother-of-four pediatrician that personally allowed me to ride it out: You can do all the things (see a specialist, punish, reward, insert home-made vegetable purees via medicine dropper into an approved emptied apple-pouch container): THEY WILL WIN. You can pick the battle but know until they are ready, your kid is going to win. So! I chose to focus on all the things I fight against on an everyday basis, and let my 5 year old have girl dinner every night. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you so much! Frankly, the idea of seeing a specialist and trying techniques just sounds exhausting. I kind of just want permission to not care about it too much

I think a pediatrician can help in terms of like “a plate with sections” and “make muffins together” but yes somehow they survive and it’s fine
