...except milk, dried fruit, and Cheerios. He has suddenly decided that he will not eat baby food. He has not and will not touch anything that is slightly damp, and though we've been trying finger foods, he is refusing most everything. The pediatrician said at his 18-month appointment to give it to 20 months and we will go to a specialist. But that was when he was eating jarred food still. He's not eaten jarred food (and, thus, meat or veggies) since last Saturday now. I can make an appointment to see the pediatrician next week, but what do I do in the meantime. Continue to let him eat fruit and Cheerios and offer foods PRAYING that he'll eat or do I (as DH suggests) refuse to give him fruit or Cheerios on the premise that he'll get hungry enough to eat the finger foods?
