Thank you for: Aaargh! (sorry, a little long)

[Guest guest]

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and validations. After stepping

back and taking a good look at things, I realize just HOW well he DOES

eat! I guess all my second-guessing comes from my Mother-in-law (his

secondary caregiver) always " complaining " that she can't give him stuff

from her plate (i.e. meat, fish, and the rest) and that it's so

difficult to feed him. I realize that it's nonsense, really. Not to

mention the fact that he's teething like crazy and is probably just

picky because of sensitive gums. My friends' babies, the same age as my

son, eat junk (and I mean junk, mainly because their parents feed them

from their plates, which are piled high with red meat and fatty

starches, and the only veggies they get are watery, over-cooked ones --

then they stuff them with sugary desserts). Sigh. I need to stop

over-analyzing things! I will try all of your suggestions, though. My

goal has been to give him something new at least twice per week.

Thanks again!
