[QUOTE="witzend, post: 200209, member: 99"] The thing that caught my eye about your post was the "we are now down to" and then a list of what he will eat now. That was what happened with us. M ate a lot of things, but eventually we were down to a certain brand of baked ham, peach yogurt, and cheerios. Period. We accommodated him. husband fought with him. There was drama and gagging and "vomiting", but it wasn't like it just urped up, it was a huge tantrum with screaming and then a vomit that was mostly spit and tears and it quite frankly was more credible as a manipulation issue than anything else. Honestly, I'd get anything other than healthy snacks - ones that he likes - out of your house. Desert should be something occasional not an every night thing. Perhaps on Saturdays if he ate dinner without a scene starting with 3 nights a week, you go to Baskin and Robbins. Then work up to four, then five... You'd be amazed what they can eat when they're hungry and there are no options other than breakfast lunch and dinner. It would be a lot easier and cheaper to try it this way for a week or two than to try medications. If you stand your ground and you see [i]absolutely no[/i] movement from him, then you'll know it's something more than him being difficult. He won't starve. [/QUOTE]
