Feedback very much appreciated

August 7, 2006

I don't mind cooking. I have tried cookies, chicken, pancakes, etc.

and all my almost six year old will eat is Boar's Head beef bologna (I

checked it out online, and it seemed ok, but let me know if it's not),

bananas (ripe), beef, lamb, pineapple, and SCD pancakes. I don't know

what to give him for a snack, I don't know what to s4send for school

lunch, etc. I would really like for him to have a more varied menu.

I have tried giving him other foods, but he pushes it away.

Obviously I am new at this, so any recommendations would be really,

really welcome.

Thanks!

When I looked online for the ingredients, I was unable to find a

details list. Do you have a detailed list of the bologna ingredients?

Boar's Head is not typically a brand that is SCD friendly.

When a child that it is a picky eater is on a specialized diet,

oftentimes meals and snacks consist of the same foods. So, oftentimes

the child will eat the same foods for breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner.

This of course, I hope will change over time. And I hope the child

learns to try new foods.

But I think that you just have to pretty much let go of your

preconceived ideas of what each meal and snack should be. The main

concern is to make sure that the child is getting enough calories.

Continue to prepare new dishes and introduce them. There is a really

good article on pecanbread.com about introducing new foods to picky

eaters. I would recommend that you read it. You'll find a link to it

on the Overcoming Difficulties page.
