Picky eaters

My son is 3yrs old, and I have the hardest time for him to eat anything! It's a limited of things that he will eat, and now that he has a problem with throwing up, he wont eat the things he used to eat, scared he will throw up if he eats it. We are waiting to see a specialist on this problem(thinking it's a acid reflex), but it worries me that he wont hardly eat anything! his Dr. said not to worry, but I just feel that this is not normal to be this picky of a eater! Does anyone have any advise on how I can get my son to try new things, or get him to eat?

my little cousin had something similar going on with him and all he would eat was pbandj sandwhiches mac and cheese cheese pizza and nuggets...not exactly good food...I couldnt get alot else in him when I first watched him but some things were about texture others taste some smells and sometimes even color lol so I turned mashed potatoes his fave color green with some food dye...I learned he didnt like whole milk cause it felt so thick to him so I gave him low fat its thinner etc. just have to ask why your child doesent like something describe it in a way they understand and pull out the tricks lol lots of books and blogs about it based off what your child doesent like try something like dragon or star fruit and let him watch you get it cause of the shapes they might eat it just cause of that etc. just have to start looking at things diffrently ...I was a picky kid too just sometimes you have to trick them others just ask and exspand your own diet

Watching. Going through the same thing...

My oldest will literally only eat white foods. Macaroni and cheese, pizza, potatoes, pasta, etc. It's a fight to get her to eat and even harder to get her to try stuff. We have seen a nutritionist because we thought maybe something was wrong or it was related to her genetic disorder but the nutritionist said that she was fine physically. I can't help but blame myself partially because I feel like I tried too hard to force her to eat things as a baby. With my other two I introduced things to them and put no pressure on them and they like everything.

Thanks for the advice! The only thing I can get him to eat now is spaghetti in a can, patty sausage, and sometime pancakes. It worries me the way he eats, cause I know it's not healthy for him. My oldest she will eat anything I put in front of her with no problem! Idk hopefully it's just a phase and he'll grow of it REAL soon!
