I have two kids ages 3 and 6. I used to be able to get food like liver, eggs, cheese into them easily, but now it is a struggle. They like rice, potatoes, lentils and especially anything with wheat like pancakes and pasta. For meat, so far ground beef and chicken has been ok, although they generally don’t eat a lot. They refuse all seafood. For fruit they like bananas, apples, oranges, dates, and melons. I put bone broth into their food.
My 3yo likes orange juice, applesauce, and anything sweet. Loves candy and chocolate. She still nurses.
My 6yo does not care for sweets, and really likes starches. I found a cavity, her first one, in one of molars a few months ago. At first it was hurting, but it has stopped hurting, although it hasn’t seemed to improve much. She also gets occasional joint pains, which I think are growing pains.
So far both of them refuse to drink milk unless it’s in cocoa powder with sugar, or with oatmeal.
I give them vitamin D supplement in the winter.
Both are both very thin and generally healthy but I could use some ideas on feeding them.
