What My *SUPER* Picky 1 Year Old Eats in a DAY! + My secret to getting him to eat a variety of foods

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Thanks for watching! Keep in mind I'm still learning and don't know everything. But here are some helpful IG accounts that share great info: @feedinglittles @solidstarts @kids.eat.in.color @babyledweanteam Any others? Leave them in the comments!

[@SellyBOS]

Try making eggs in a basket with just egg whites. It’s most likely the yolk that is bothering his taste buds. (Such an acquired taste) :) p.s love watching your channel !!

[@luncing7132]

It’s exactly like my son. If he takes two bites I thought it’s a win. My son is allergic in egg and cheese and super picky eater, i am always on thinking what he would like to eat. Thank you so much for sharing, I am relieved to hear that my son is not the only picky eater.

[@aldencasen89]

instablaster...

[@sharytun9922]

Thank you for sharing the video. My 20-month baby is like yours. She does not like bread nor Milk except for breast milk.😊

[@sharytun9922]

Where do you get your meal ideas?

[@DanielaSJ9090]

The struggle is real! My baby rather feed me than himself. So stressed 😩. Thanks for making this video, it deff feels better to know that I’m not alone 😢

[@marleyn]

It also happens to my 14 month old boy. He starts whining as I put him on high chair. He picks some veggies and brings it to his mouth, but then stops eating. Very stressful..he is only 20% percentile weight...

[@april_redcharmed4698]

Wow it’s refreshing to see I’m not alone with my little picky eater! 💕

[@maikendao]

"Then we sat down and had a peaceful breakfast where he loves everysingle bites"... you had me there 😂

[@luckystar6871]

you should get pasture raised eggs if you don't usually. they taste better. make sure they have an orange yolk, not yellow.

[@sarat.1744]

So glad to finally see a realistic video of a REAL picky eater just like mine...thank you for reassuring us parents not it's not just us!

[@lmt6672]

Yogurt scene was the best! Jace's face all covered in yogurt and his cheesy smile haha

[@Nicolelelagreen]

I agree - I just wanna eat him up!

[@amyb659]

My almost 2 year old hates eggs, bananas - pretty much anything that's inexpensive and quick to fix up with a mushy texture. Great ideas!!

[@experimentaorlandobyvaness1624]

My son too! 😳

[@chiomaogbonnaya5003]

🤣🤣🤣 same with mine oooo

[@jasminelee3033]

Omg so does my daughter !

[@nicholemaclean1888]

This is one of the best videos about toddler eating I’ve seen and I’ve watched tons!

[@noureenaman8813]

My daughter is now 1 and she is super super picky eater. I was so stressed watching all those videos where toddlers are eating perfectly. Thanks for making this video. Can have little peace of mind that I am not an alone with this stress.

[@GraceAskew]

Where are his little wooden bowls from? LOVED this! Very reassuring to see I'm not alone

[@ruthgomez2030]

Thank you so much for sharing this!! I’ve been having problems and feel so jealous when I see some other baby over on instagram eating super balance foods :c thank you for keeping it real

[@Nicolelelagreen]

You are so welcome!

[@UnfocusedLife]

And there is Jace trying to crawl back into my womb 😅😂 I feel that, with both my kids!

[@Nicolelelagreen]

LOL every day sis!

[@mckenziehayden6682]

Same this made me laugh out loud 😂

[@ItsmeNiecey]

Lol I laughed so hard when she said this!!

[@lefish5277]

Why do they do this!? Mine is always shoving his head in there like Sir SIR

[@analisagonzalez6067]

rewatching this because my 14 month old is going through a picky phase now. It is hit or miss, some days she eats great and some she does not. Has Jace's appetite gotten any better? Can you post an updated video with some recipe recommendations?!

[@katelyn_jpg]

thank you for being so real & raw about this! my son is 14 months old & he's such a picky eater because he's a HUGE texture guy. definitely going to try some of your techniques!!!

[@sanbetski]

wow you are very PATIENT with him, kudos

[@jazminemartinez5003]

I love the how relatable this is!

[@vanessamcdaniel9144]

My son just turned 1 this past Saturday and omg I’m so glad I came across your video I was feeling so bad because my son just will not eat like I see other kids eat. He is the same like your son does not like eggs and my husband and I love eggs so I’m going to try the eggs in a basket to see if he likes that. Your son is so adorable! And I’m so glad there is another baby that is just like my son it makes me feel like it’s normal and I’m not starving my baby I always feel bad when he does not want to eat what I make or throws it on the floor

[@Lyssa0095]

My son is PICKY thank you for this video I've always known about eggs in the toast but I forgot and I made it for him this morning and he ate it all! Thank you mama!!! ❤❤❤🙌

[@MelanieCamille]

I love all of the honesty in this video!

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Thanks Melanie!

[@greciarodriguez1790]

I’m 26 weeks pregnant with a baby boy! Also my first child. I’ve been a nanny for 10yrs and I find that starting babies with veggies and fruits that aren’t too sweet help to create a non picky eater. Some foods I like to start babies with are avocado, purée asparagus, mashed peas, sweet potatoes. Then with time I will introduce more fruits like berries. Now the kids are a little older they love there veggies!

[@sashaphilpot8976]

I love the real behind this video there are so many moms out here like you

[@briarturvey9334]

Have you tried putting the food in a ice cream cone . I do that and beau eats well. Sometimes i put his mince and use mashed sweet potato on top with a little sprinkle of cheese.

[@lauraharstad3061]

We taught our doberman the command “out of the kitchen” since he was a puppy. He knows that when we are sitting at the kitchen table that crossing that threshold is off limits! It’s so nice to eat in peace without a giant dog resting his head on the table begging or swiping food from kiddos😆 Guests love it too! Creates a more peaceful atmosphere ✨ Then when we are done, he gets to come and “clean up” the floor.

[@presildatoto7047]

My son is 2,5 years old and extremely picky eater! I struggle with him at home as much as in the nursery too where he refuses to eat what’s on the menu. He eats only limited things and I have to pack him every day with staff that he might eat at the nursery too. We never get to go out to eat unless if it’s for fries as he never eats out or I will have to bring food wherever I go. I have tried many things.. but nothing seems to work

[@tiffp323]

Thanks for the realness in this video.

[@celinewodka463]

You're hilarious- I've been struggling with my one year old, he barely eats anything and prefers to feed our dog. Thank you for sharing.

[@Lisa_V]

Omg! My daughter is literally the same way!! She just touches the food with her tongue and throws it 😩🤦🏻‍♀️ she is so picky!!

[@jesussalas4974]

@@Lisa_V did you ever figure it out? My 14 month old literally won't eat anything besides pizza sauce and ice cream... NOTHING.

[@Lisa_V]

@@jesussalas4974 yes! She still is picky but I believe she is still exploring her food. Her favorites are pizza, broccoli, mac and cheese, cheese, rice, and popsicles! She will still eat small amounts but at times she will eat a lot so it varies. Just keep trying and they will eat when they’re hungry if not just save it for later. I Make her homemade popsicles with fruits and veggies which she loves and I don’t feel guilty giving it to her multiple times a day because sometimes that is all she wants to eat. She likes To eat snacks all the time especially chips and anything crunchy. So I’ll just give her what she wants to eat and try other foods as well but if she doesn’t eat it I don’t stress about it. I hope this helps!!!!

[@marisolcarpio4906]

Im Hispanic and my baby does not love eggs either. I will mix scrambled eggs with some beans and he loves that! Give it a try. Plus extra good nutrition in the am 😉

[@sabeehaumar105]

Hello, I just came across your video and found it very informative. LOVE your positivity as a mother with such a “picky” eater. I just stress out when my child refuses to eat. You are seriously a super mum for handling the situation so well! Also Jace is the cutest 😍

[@uttanasana]

Thanks so much for sharing this! Sooo realistic and useful! My LO eats exactly like yours and they like/dislike the same foods too! I should take example of your patience, I always feel terrible when he doesn't want to eat...

[@maggieerdie2618]

I’m only 16 but I feel like these type of videos are so good to watch this early in life because I can prepare for my future . I bet the moms on here are loving this vid. I will have to send it to my sister in law. ❤️ your doing great Nicole!😊

[@Nicolelelagreen]

I'm so glad! Thanks Maggie!

[@itscool770]

My favorite way to get my son to eat eggs is either with a savory or breakfast muffin that I make. The savory egg muffins that I make call for 6 eggs and the batch makes 8 muffins-so each muffin has close to an entire egg. I freeze the muffins then when I want to give my toddler one I just take one out of the freezer, wrap it in foil and bake it until it’s warmed through. Another cool way to get eggs in is to grate a potato to make hash browns then scramble an egg and toss it into the grated potatoes (I also like to add either cheese or green onions to the mix) the fry the whole thing like a giant pancake. My son LOVES potatoes so he will eat this right up. Picky eaters are hard!

[@tabitapopa1246]

Yogurt face - the cutest! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rict.4938]

My daughter will only eat peanut butter bread, yogurt, crackers, sometimes bananas and whole grain goldfish. Milk juice and water She will sometimes eat a few French fries . We still feel like she's not eating well enough for age 3. What can we do to get her to try more ??

[@estherflores7647]

You are so down to earth , thank u , my 2 year old is very picky

[@claudialovee-palma3289]

Thank you for being you lol!!! My kid is a picky eater and he’s a big boy which is weird because he never eats. So I try to feed him healthy foods.

[@MikaelaWashington]

He’s so adorable!! I don’t want to over step at all. But my nurse brain made me notice it. I would cut the noodles even smaller especially for his age. My niece chocked on noodles that were just literally stacking in the back of her throat when she was younger. Totally random. But I didn’t want to not say anything!

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Hey, thanks for that tip! I def will be cutting it next time!

[@thelauvehouse]

Thank you for this video! My one year old is the worst eater and it’s so frustrating.

[@Nicolelelagreen]

You are so welcome! I hope some of the tips are helpful!

[@Limboca]

I feel you... I just feel like a failure

[@jl8805]

I had to make an appointment for feeding therapy. Mine is completely rejecting meals. Don't be afraid of seeking professional help.

[@kaitlinross4348]

Why did I think the cheese grater would be in the description🤣 I love that over the big 4 sided ones!

[@Ali_b1009]

Struggling with my niece. Most food ends up on the floor. She eats lots at nursery (she’s the biggest eater there) but not much after nursery.

[@ektom90]

My 20 month old is like this too, it was very stressful because when I weaned from nursing at 12 months he decided he wouldn’t drink any other type of milk, so 100% of his calories had to come from solids. Somehow he didn’t starve and is a chunky monkey, but he is still very picky.

[@jeslovesjesus]

I have that placemat and I like it but it doesn’t fully suction so my daughter flips the thing over every time she’s “done” 🙄

[@donairewycheel]

My 1 yr old is a picky eater and this is my struggle since she was 7 months old and lately she doesnt want to drink water. It is frustrating for me and i dont know what to do anymore.

[@nicoljazz8778]

I feel for you. My daughter is 9 months old and she is already a fussy eater. Thank god to formula otherwise she would be starving. But still trying as you are. Thank you so much for this video. 🙏❤️

[@RoriRebel]

omg thank you for being real when it’s comes to meal time with a toddler

[@genesiscaraballo4013]

My son always wants to take the plate off his high chair. MOST annoying thing but I remember it’s ok, they don’t know. I explain to him that it stays on the table. My son doesn’t always eat everything off his plate but sometimes he does. So it’s ok :-)

[@Nicolelelagreen]

I'm right there with ya on all of that! hehe thanks for the comment!

[@faithpalo9492]

My son same a picky eater and he doesn’t like egg texture as well. Kinda give until one day we found out his allergic on egg cause everything he ate egg he threw up and one day we end up to the emergency. After that we got to see the allergies and that’s how we found out his allergic on egg. And I’m hoping we will get out grow of the egg allergy.

[@tlarose8809]

Where did you get that wearable bib with sleeves he had on during yogurt? That’s such a good idea

[@nbgirl85]

I think it might be the Bumkins bib or something similar. You can find them on Amazon

[@EATLIFTRUN]

Hi there :) Quick question where did you get your baby boys utensils in this video?

[@AlinaGhost]

Yogurt is such a saviour!

[@abyrivera4929]

do you feed him while hes just wearing a diaper? do you think clean up is easier like that?

[@alandaniels9011]

My 2 year old son is the same. You have a great attitude!

[@tanushreepareek8208]

Is he drinks formula or cow's milk? My baby just not taking cow's milk. He drink from the same munchkin starw cup his usual water but not milk. How did you make him do it?

[@jenwylie4093]

I have a 10 month old. I'm struggling too. He mostly wants to eat puree's and fruit. I sneak veggies in. My doctor said to do baby led weaning but I doubt he would eat anything if I only did baby led weaning.

[@Togetheratthewell]

My son eats just like Jace. He loves bread, bananas and tomatoes. I am so glad you showed this bc seeing a "perfect" eater doesn't help me feed him better. Also, I don't handle raw meat until I wash it in water and vinegar so I understand you.

[@Nicolelelagreen]

You are so welcome! Love that they eat the same hehe!

[@MedievalJourneyArt]

My boy is also super picky, .... but! Loves bananas, bread and tomatoes as well! There must be a scientific reason for this, it can't be just a coincidence. He doesn't like eggs either, among many other things... I am wondering if sweet Jace is now eating well, since it's been 2 years since this video was made.

[@nicolegerard2907]

My daughter definitely messes with the mat but at least most the time she does it when most of her food is off the plate. Thank goodness.

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Lucky haha not our case :)

[@sashaphilpot8976]

Omgggg I swear we have the same baby yet my baby is some months younger please more videos and updates I love it

[@sb416]

My baby ate a banana yesterday it was a miracle! He just wants cookies, gold fish. And beans and rice. He needs veggies so his grandma told me to blend up some veggies in the spaghetti sauce, I’ll be trying this tonight/

[@alisagumm8547]

Best KZbin video ever!

[@michelleking1008]

Struggling too and this is baby number 6

[@sairaansari786]

I like how u uncut or not editing like other u tubers ,give him his own time all kids r not same as my son's too fussy like this only ,,he so cutie ❤️❤️

[@amelac9524]

My son is exactly the same way pls share more tips how you get him to eat

jace is getting so big and cute❤️❤️, such a blessed family!!

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Thank you! God bless

[@melissasander2660]

Just watched this! Thank you for posting this realistic video! I honestly have been stressed with my 14 month old being super picky and just not eating much in general. Especially with the doctor telling us she’s underweight for her age group etc and I’m just like ahhh this so stressful 😩. I’m def going to check out the helpful accounts you’ve shared as well. ❤️

[@slorenlaboy]

Yeah my 11 month old eats just like yours. She’s super picky about textures.

[@imlisaa1]

Does your son have any issue taking the horizon organic milk? Did he ever had trouble pooping? My son is on lactaid and is still having trouble pooping it out.

[@lsz502]

Hi I ran into your video and I was wondering if you úsed to deal with this before he was 1? Mine has 9.5 months old and he doesnt want to eat anything and im just like stressing about it and don't know what to do

[@smritikumari3601]

I am in the same situation.. is there any improvement? Please tell me and how long does it took.

[@Amarilys7777]

My baby is just like this lol sometimes I give it 2 my husband honestly he has extremely amazing patience with my lil princess she is a horrible eater I felt bad also so thank you 4 the video I feel like there is more moms out there like me.

Hahaha thank you for saying that first cause I just kept stopping all videos of babies chucking up a lot of food i thought they were lying my son is two and eats only 3 spoons every meal

[@barlowgilrocks234]

Hi Nicole! It’s been awhile since I’ve watched one of your videos because I’ve been busy with school. And I just wanted to say that he is so big now! What!! 😲You are such a good mom! And I’m so happy to see you guys are doing well! Much love!❤️

I can totally relate with you.. But the stuggle is real and it never ends.. My son is 2,5 years old and I'm still learning and trying out what works for him

[@yasintams4391]

Same age n relate so much with my son. It's hilarious! I thought that i'm alone but after watching this video, oh God... I'm so stress just bcoz of this problem, i worry so much about his weight. I really dont want him to lose his weight. :< hopefully there'll be such a miracle thing to make my son clean his plate.

[@nizniz308]

Oh my baby are same like him she is super picky about food

I thought my girl was the only one 😩😩 you earned a subscriber by being soooo relatable 😂

[@jenellehills1035]

Same!

[@bago1shortie]

Is your son nursing still? Or only on organic milk. Mines is still nursing and occasionally formula fed but he doesn't like it

[@ashleighsheehy4656]

Omg thank you!!!! This is exactly how my son is. I was going bonkers trying to feed my son. Can't wait to try some of these!!

[@elenavivas26]

Omg your son just acts (in this vidéo) Like my little one. Hahaha it sèmes they just cant to PLAY! So cute tho. Good work mamá and thanks. I will Aldaya say « it’s a win! » from now. Xx haha

[@Tvo281]

My dog! I have a boxer and he stalks my son's eating area until I leave and when I come back I find him sniffing around the high chair

[@cosmicwoodtuft6338]

One, Zuko was looking for his honor leave him be 🤣🤣🤣🤣 jkjkjk But also! Your baby smiling through the mess of yogurt made the baby fever 1000x worse. 🤣 He is so flippin' cuuuute!! I have an 11 month old but... I need a second one. 🤣💜🥳

[@jennyeng1229]

I have a picky eater and those plates are too distracting for my daughter too. She likes to throw the food she doesn't want on the floor or give to me. I know all the foods she likes but trying to get her to try other things or new things have been tough. Hang in there mama!

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Same! I feel like I need to venture out but its so tempting to give him things he likes because I know he'll actually eat it. Thanks for the love mama!

[@emilyiyamah7108]

This made me feel better about my picky eater.

[@jinujacob6611]

Thanks for sharing this video Nicole! You have made me happy to know that there are moms like me sailing in the same boat with picky eaters. I have been using the same tips just like you mentioned in the video and the results are just the same. Hence because my son is underweight, I have been forced to change my style of feeding him. So now at the start of the meal I give him some time to eat by himself and then when everything starts to end up on the floor, I feed him by hand using the distraction feeding technique. This has helped my son feel fuller and put on weight. Personally with my son's case, sticking to baby led weaning approach was that he was still hungry after mealtime and will end up drinking milk to fill up his tummy .

[@autumngrace3683]

Same as my son, I also have to hand feed him mostly. He will wake up a couple of times at night to drink milk. He’s about 18 months now. Moms whose kids eat very well are so lucky😀. I buy a lot of vegetables and fruits and times have to throw away. All he wants is milk. Good luck with your little angel, hopefully all picky eaters come around 😀

[@alontrianewton9013]

Thank you so much for this video my son is a vegetarian and it’s so hard to find good recipes because he is beyond picky from taste to texture he loves fruits hate veggies but loves sweet potatoes

[@RoriRebel]

lol im on my 3rd kid my first born was not allowed to play with his food or get dirty, my second i will allow her to get dirty but not play with her food and my 3rd….. i let him do whatever he wants with his foods … having bites are a win for me and i’m way more relax 😂😂😂 he reminded me of my little one when yours was eating his yogurt.

[@lumndiforngwacarine8644]

This is so informative, thanks alot

[@torilynn792]

I swear by baby shark... lol... I sing it to get his attention for a picture 🤣🤣

[@Owca2512]

My son is pretty good with food but I relate so so much to your dog struggles 😂 my dog and my child are the best friends and companions in crime, but only during meal time. If the kid is not eating the dog won't even come near, but when there is food involved he won't move an inch from the high chair 🐕

[@jyotsnajha8767]

Loved your video dear!! Also , can u make a video on how you keep your patience with a picky eater ? I know they are just lil babies but sometimes it can be hard. 😊 Also, you are so patient and realistic!

[@erikabiederbeck48]

I’ve never related to a video more in my life! Hehe thank you!
