[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 388468"] You've just described me and my daughter in a lot of ways. She'll eat the fries and chicken nuggets, sometimes she'll eat a hamburger but not when it's on a bun/bread/etc. Veggies? Don't make me laugh, it's not happening. And no, hiding them in other foods doesn't work most of the time and on the rare times it does she always finds out later and is that much more leery of unknown foods later. We're "supertasters" which even though is a scientifically proven thing is scoffed at by many people, including otherwise educated adults (including some of her teachers) and they tell her "there's no such thing, eat it anyway." Seems to be linked to a supersensitive nervous system which I think is one of the underlying factors of Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) and shows up a lot in Aspies and gifteds (which also seem to have a lot in common anyway). I know better than to push foods on mine too hard, because I know how I was. As long as I can find other ways to get decent nutrition in her by other methods (shakes, dark chocolate, vitamins, etc) and her physical growth is fine (small for her age, but hey I'm short and I'm taller than my bio-mom), I don't worry it overmuch. I was more open to new foods when introduced to them by my friends as a teen and young adult. I wouldn't even eat bacon or sausage until my late 20s! Was he premature with that low weight, or was it full term very low rate? If he was a preemie, does his % fall in with where he would be if his age was gauged on his due date instead? [/QUOTE]
