He ASKS for broccoli. I'll keep this advice handy for our new little one. Thanks! Luckily, our first kiddo has always been game to eat anything. He ASKS for broccoli.

G has reflux and has been on meds since about 12 wks old. It's been under control for long time, but when he was sick last month it got worse. After talking w/ my sis (2 kids w/ BAD reflux), she said her kids always had reflux flare ups when they were sick (didn't really matter what type of sickness either). We talked to our pedi and upped G's meds during his sickness period and it was better. I had no idea to consider a reflux flare up during a cold. Hope it helps anyone else w/ reflux impacted kids.

I don't know how long your child has been spitting up after meals. It could be temporary and related to a passing illness, but it could be a sign of something else. Definitely follow up! Kathleen Molly,

We are starting to have major issues with DS not wanting to eat anything and truthfully, my DH and I are starting to get nervous. I just don't think he is taking in enough nutrients or calories! He puts plenty of food in his mouth and we think he has swallowed it but two minutes later he spits it ALL out. He does this at almost every meal. I don't understand why he just won't swallow it! At the same time he doesn't ever show us signs of being hungry. He never cries or whines. If we are eating a snack he will move his mouth up and down as if he is doing the "biting" motion so we will give him something. I think we have started a bad habit of giving him whatever he wants because we're so afraid he is hungry. I can tell this is going to be a big issue for us. I plan to talk to our pedi about it at his 18-month appt. in a couple weeks. How timely!

We've started to experience some mild pickiness, and I'm afraid I'm on my way to being a short-order cook for a toddler who will only eat yogurt and peanut butter sandwiches! I will definitely take a look at the Child of Mine book at my library and see if I can apply it at home. Sorry to hear you're having trouble with Jasper's eating habits. I hope it's nothing serious!
