I love Ellyn Satter and have worked hard to follow her "division of responsibility" guidlines: I am in charge of what, where and when I feed DS, he is in charge of how much and whether he eats. It's worked well so far but for the last couple of weeks, he's refused all meats. He used to eat chicken, but now I can't even get him to eat that. I've tried to be diligent about offering meat frequently. DH and I very obviously (but not too blatantly :) ) consume our meat and talk about how good it is, and Colin's meat sits on his high chair tray throughout the meal. Occassionally he pushes it out of the way so that he can get to his fruit.

Fortunately, he'll still eat tofu, cheese and bread, but he mostly eats fruit. He also still drinks formula since for some reason he can't tolerate whole milk. But, I'd still like for him to consume some animal protein.

Is there anything else I should be doing? Do I just wait for him to get used to the meat and try it again? I'm trying to prepare flavorful, high fat, meat entrees, but he's just not getting into them. I've tried disguising things a little bit, but I don't want to get too sneaky about things. The other caveat here is that he is sensitive to wheat and some dairy, so I'm limited in what I can offer him. Any thoughts?

Thanks!
