I am having trouble with my 3 year old. He likes to eat mostly bread,
pasta and potatoes. He doesn't eat any vegies, or fruits.

Who buys and prepares the food? He does? Or you do?

A typical day for him would be cereal, toast or pancakes for breakfast,
For lunch Kraft dinner, grilled cheese sandwich, hot dogs, or toast.
FOr supper, maybe some potatoes, noodles, rice, and some meat... not often
but maybe a bit of chicken or pork chop ( less lately). He will drink fruit

Who is doing all that cooking for him?

My son will
eat only the rice, potatoes or noodles and then he gets up and walks away.

So don't offer them. Have a few vegetable-only weeks. Make
broiled eggplant "pizzas".

I know some of you will say just give him the vegies. I've tried that ..he
just walks away and then I feel bad because he had no supper.

Sometimes the parents have to do things that make them feel bad.
It's part of the job. Give him time and he'll get hungry enough
to eat. Right now he's running the house, and you should be.

I really don't know what to do...ny husband suggested brocoli and spinach
milkshakes...anyone have a recipe ??? ( LOL)

any suggestions about fussy eaters and what to do would be great.

Serve what he SHOULD eat ... he'll eventually eat it, altough it
can take a few days.
