ok,
you
can
be
really
sneaky
and
trade
the
brand
he
likes
with
one
that's
like
made
from
tofu(no
offense
to
tofu
lovers)!
Don't
tell
him....maybe
he
won't
like
them...if
he
says
it
tastes
yucky,
just
tell
him
that
his
tongue
is
telling
him
that
he
must
have
had
enoughof
them
and
that
it
wants
something
new.
He will eat something...he's going to be hungry! kids always eat in the long run! is that too sneaky? We have a picky eater in our house...so we have had to try many tricks to get her to eat. And I don't know about everyone else's kids, but mine were and still are phase eaters. They eat one particular food for quite a while then they change to something new. And if I try to give them the previous food they swear that they don't like it and never ever have in their whole life!!! LOL!! Ah,
here's
an
interesting
one
that
sounds
gross
but
I
swear
it's
not!
Chicken nuggets with peanut butter on top or as a dipping sauce. The peanut butter may work for the hot dogs to be dipped in, too. By taking organic peanut butter and mixing it with powdered milk and honey (I can hear all of you with food allergies squirming - sorry!) it gives the right mix of different proteins. Lathered on chicken nuggets is great b/c it's even more protein. Good luck!

The
best
advice
I
got
was
to
relax
and
be
sneaky!
They're
not
going
to
starve
or
end
up
malnourished.
I
had
a
hot
dog
maniac
too.
Buy
a
good
quality
hot
dog
(lean,
low
sodium,
organic),
provide
some
special
dipping
sauces
(unsweetened
applesauce,
pear
puree
etc).
Mine's
now
7
and
still
loves
'dipping
sauces'
Mine
actually
liked
hot
dogs
dipped
in
yogurt.
I
put
the
sauces
in
special
cups.
Try
making
something
like
a
hot
dog
pizza,
or
a
hot
dog
stuffed
with
cheese,
or
offering
other
things
that
are
shaped
like
hot
dogs.
Serve
good
nutrious
drinks
like
fruit
smoothies.
I
always
teach
my
kids
that
they
should
try
bites
of
things
'in
case
they
like
it'.

For
a
while
our
oldest
son
would
only
eat
meatballs
and
peas.
So
a
lot
of
things
became
"new
meatballs"
and
"special
peas".
Eventually
we
got
him
eating
new
foods
because
he
got
to
use
dip
or
a
toothpick...
Even
now
he
and
his
brother
will
gobble
anything
down
if
it
is
presented
on
a
stick.
I
don't
get
it,
but
they
eat.
New
special
silverware/plate
set
may
make
it
new
and
special.
Good Luck! Hang in there.

Our
daughter
was
a
very
picky
eater
so
I
feel
your
pain.
Things
we
tried:
-Mix in her favorite food with something new - can you put a piece of hot dog on a fork together with a small piece of something else? (pasta or vegetable?) -Distract her while giving her something new to eat. I know they say to just put food in front of your kid and let them eat, but I could not stand her just eating one thing so I'd read to her and sometimes she got into it enough that she would eat new things. |

If he were eating paint chips dipped in hot fudge and caramel sauce I might be more inclined to worry about it.
