“Sam is 26 months old now, he wants to eat only one type of food. I’ve tried giving him different types of food and snacks but he just refused.” Amy, 28 years old
Dr. Stork says: Some children may have ‘food jags’, a term commonly referred to the stubborn insistence on eating only a certain type of food. In fact, ‘food jags’ is common in many young children and there is no need to be alarmed. Try coaxing or persuading your child to eat something from each of the major food groups as depicted in the Pyramid Food Guide. Also, remember that teasing has been found to be an ineffective way to succeed.
