Eggs are a wonderful food.
and wrong, . Too late, with wisdom. My daughter? Sushi and anything which won't fight back!
Lol. My oldest boy LOVED onions and dill pickles from the get go.
My daughter loves lemons (I did too).
I'm probably not the best example, I was a very 'hyper', overly worried mom. But now that my kids are in their 20's, I pretty much recognize what I did right,
None of mine had anything but nursing until over a year. The oldest, 15 months, when my mother couldn't stand it anymore and gave her a peanut butter sandwich while she was babysitting!
After that trauma, I was really health conscious and had plenty of $$ to indulge. So we'd go to the grocery, farmer's markets, health food store, with me picking up things and saying, "Does this look good?" or "which of these should we bring home for dinner?"
Samples of course helped too, as she nearly always wanted me to buy what she liked in the store. (My two boys were the same, there's something about taking them to the store and telling them, "vegetables, fruits, yogurt, meat, crackers, too expensive", that gets them 'involved' or 'invested' in what they 'helped' pick out.)
15 months is pretty young, but by 2 you can put him in a booster seat and have him tear lettuce for salad. I do think choice has a lot to do with their eating, protein is the problem, so offer a bit of chicken or an egg. If he likes vegetables for the most part, make a stew, being sure to shred his beef or chicken into bits. Another 'trick' I used when they were small is to ask which dessert we should make. Then ask which meat we should have, that would go best with dessert.
Like I said, I was pretty over-the-top when they were young. The first time my daughter had a chocolate chip cookie out of the house, she was confused, too sweet! I only used carob and honey and was very light handed with both.
Good news, my kids will eat nearly anything, (though the boys are still fish adverse, they will eat sushi. :gag
I know this will shock, but I was a very compulsive mom for about 8 years. Then I calmed down.I'm probably not the best example, I was a very 'hyper', overly worried mom. But now that my kids are in their 20's, I pretty much recognize what I did right,

Go Mom!
Ack! Go Mom?
Embarrassing, for certain. It's amazing the kids are as normal as they are.
Have you ever *tasted* a carob chip, just by itself? YUCKO!

At the time, thought they were the second coming. Oh how I baked with them.
Then switched to 'natural in very light moderation.' LOL!

LOL. Carob chips ought to be listed as a form of cruel and unusual punishment...
My problem is he is so small, not skinny just small and it worries me! I am sure I am feeding him enough he just is very short for his age. He must get it from his dad whop is not short now,because I was always very tall!My kids went through a picky phase as well. The pediatrician always reassured me that this was normal and that I shouldn't worry too much. Easier said than done.
Toddlers are active and usually find that eating is not that fun compared to what they could really be doing.
My kids liked macaroni & cheese with broccoli, peanut butter sandwiches, chicken noodle soup, yogurt, and rice pudding. All these foods have protein in them. I also used to put out of tray of an assortment of things like bits of cheese, apples, bananas, cheese crackers, cheerios. They also liked a shake that I still make with milk, bananas, and a dollop of peanut butter.
There are no hard and fast rules with kids. Make mealtime fun and don't stress too much. If kids get hungry they will eat. Many kids like my little boy will graze. He will literally eat every half hour.
Keep offering him new foods, eventually he will take to some of them. Good Luck!
