My pediatrician gave me some brilliant advice. He said not to scrutinize my child’s daily meals, but to review my child's diet over the course of a week. This made more sense than fretting over his enthusiasm for one meal and complete avoidance of the next. As for veggies, I've been known to hide them in applesauce out of desperation. He must notice this. If he’s feeling mischievous, he’ll fish the vegetable out with his tongue and spit it out. If not, he eats it – probably out of pity.
