Food Strike!

Alex goes through phases of rejecting food. He comes out of them too. I brought it up at his 15 mo check up and the pediatrician told me to not worry about it if he's not losing weight or showing any signs of malnutrition - which he wasn't. She said it's a typical complaint over toddlers.

I've just rotated his meals, trying anything and everything to see if he'll take to it and I just default to baby food if it's gone on for too long during the day. I can usually make a breakthrough with fruits and Gerber meat sticks.

Apparently, it's normal for toddlers to do this and they don't starve. Now only if I could find a way to go on a food strike.
