Chook Me!

how much/what do you feed your 1 year old...veggies?

my son is 14 months and WILL NOT eat veggies, he used to eat them very well but the last couple months refuses. even when i hide them in a casserole or pasta he eats the noodles and sauce then spits out the veggies. his other meals: breakfast 8 oz of whole milk then a dry blueberry waffle, oatmeal, yogurt, dry pancakes, or scrambled eggs. snacks twice a day...fruit, cheerios, or crackers lunch usually a turkey dog with fruit, cheese and crackers, peanut butter and crackers dinner usually what we are eating, casseroles, spaghetti, chicken (with ketchup), pot pie, quesadillas, or grilled cheese. I feel this is unhealthy eating especially with no veggies, any ideas or help?

1. Try all types of veggies or let him feed himself. With my 3 year old and 1 year old is i add a bit a butter, very little pepper, and salt. Plus i add american cheese, and my kids love it!
2. your child's diet should mirror yours!! continue to serve the same food -with a variety from all of the food groups in smaller portions. spitting out food is poor table manners & the child should be immediately removed from his chair.
