If there is any one reading this blog that has experience with 'problem feeders,' then this post will make incredible sense to you--and may also provide some level of hope. Princess Abigail, now 29 months of age, has ALWAYS been a problem feeder. That term basically means that she has incredibly strong food preferences--resulting in a very, very tiny number of food selections she WILL eat, while maintaing a huge laundry list of foods she won't even try. Abby doesn't like to try new food she has never experienced before. We cannot tag this to any sensory issues--but rather--we've found that Abby's personality dictates her interest in food. That interest is minimal. It has taken us 29 months to get her to a whopping 22 pounds!! Each step has been a challenge--but we believe that strides are now being made as this past week, Princess Abigail has tried cole slaw, hot dog, cold cuts, apples, cheese, broccoli, rice, ravioli, macaroni and cheese and sushi. Of all those things, her favorite is sushi (California rolls and New Phila Maki especially). Go figure! How is it that our daughter has lived on a staple of yogurt, Pirates Booty, veggie sticks and pureed fruit and vegetables during her 29 months, and absolutely denied trialing anything along the lines of the chicken mcnugget, pizza or hamburger line? Yet, without even a second thought, she can be found face down in a tray of sushi? If someone out there can explain it to me, please do!! These photos are proof of this craziness. I can't wait to share this update with her nutrionist!
