My son is very picky and sometimes he just doesn't want food at all. I'll offer food over and over, his favorites, new foods, fast foods, junk foods, sometimes NOTHING works and he just won't eat. Sometimes offering junk food or fast food does the trick but he mostly just doesn't seem to want food. We're giving him pedicure, he's always been a skinny mini (his dad was SUPER skinny as a kid too) but I know that he's almost underweight so I want to know if this is common? What are some of the… read more
Thank you so much for your comment
I like this website glutenfreeonashoestring.com. For the most part, stay away from processed foods, some brands of baked goods have mixes to make easy, and I've heard unless absolutely medically… read more
Thank you for your kind words.
Picky eater problems
Fear not! I don’t know which way it will go, but the only person you need to check in with is his doctor. When my son was about 1 1/2 to 2, he would eat chicken, french toast, smiley fries, yogurt and… read more
I will be seeing an allergist doctor in two weeks, I will definitely ask for an allergy food guide. My daughter went from eating her meals and then stopped. Now she only eats a few favorites. Thanks… read more
My life revolves around driving to and from appointments. My child has a driver's permit, it is like pulling teeth to get practice driving done. I feel like I am expected to be the driver for life. There are so many more things that could potentially be accomplished, but since I am around no progress happens. Am I the problem?
Try Vocational Rehabilitation they maybe helpful as I know they have driving course and some hosptials.

I had a similar issue but it also started when speech started working on accepting new foods in that if he didn't want the food, he could throw it away. Which was great because he was touching new… read more
He’s 5 yrs old, formally diagnosed last year, talks but not clearly and has just started school. He goes to sleep well then after a few hrs he’s wide awake, just walking around and chatting in his own way. They are so tired, I’m afraid it may affect their marriage and this little boy (& his elder sister) needs both his parents together. Any suggestions please, they’ve tried many things including melatonin but it doesn’t seem to keep him asleep for any reasonable amount of time. Both parents work… read more
does he take any naps? Does he eat at night ? food can create energy. Have you tried melatonin? or some Lavender spray, they have pillows on Amazon. We tried all of it right now we have her in… read more
My son is almost three and nonverbal. He has not ate solid foods since he was one and a half. He only drinks from a bottle just milk but I do mix yogurts in them when I can get him to drink it. He also drinks PediaSure. His iron levels are good and he is healthy no problem with weight loss, sleep well and is active. I'm currently on a waiting list to get a diagnosis. He is fearful of anything coming near his mouth he doesn't put toys in his mouth, but he also doesn't allow us to brush his teeth… read more
Reagan, I figured you did, but wanted to share, maybe someone could use the information. That's a good idea, super food powder, I may try that method for my daughter Janelle. You know down the line we… read more
Hi! My daughter is almost 4 (diagnosed with Lvl3 autism at age 2. She,at the moment, will only drink chocolate pediasure and whole milk (with
chocolate 😒 ) her father and I have tried everything to get her to eat food, but she will not. (Mind you- she did used to eat but very slowly stopped and preferred liquid only, so I really don’t think it could be a jaw issue or anything like that?)We’ll make her a plate and it’ll go untouched each and every time, sometimes she’ll play with the food/throw… read more
No don't take away the pediasure . Don't do the "wait until they get hungry " trust they will go without eating. Starving them is not the answer. I'm sorry I'm in the same boat as you . I'm reading… read more
