Toddler Feeding Issues.

[singaporesinger]

Hi All, my kid is 2 years plus and only eating crunchy or crispy textured food. most of the food with this texture are process or fried food. we gotta supplement her with vitamins and milk.

any parents facing same issues and any ideas or ways to solve this? After Google-ing this eating behavior, I've gotten results such as sensory processing disorder(Hopefully Not).

Its normal for them to have this preference IMO. Even adults also prefer eating fried chicken than boiled chicken. I dont think u need to google anything to scare yourself.

One thing we realised is, are the parents walking the talk? eg. I don't like to eat veggies and so the kid too. after forcing myself to eat veggies for weeks, the kid will be willing to try more.

Are the food bland and "healthy" for a 2 years + kid? They may prefer having more taste in their food now.

just be patient and persistent. You may want to consider asking him to take turns to take a bite at different food.
eg. 1 bite of egg, 1 bite of protein, 1 bite of crispy food
If no compliance = take away dinner
