I have twin 4-year old boys. While one of them enjoys food and is generally not fussy the other does not enjoy eating much. He has reflux sometimes, tends not to chew food he doesn't like and his appetite for cereals and carbs tends to be between 3-5 spoons. He enjoys certain fruits and raw vegetables. Using rewards like points/stars has worked only with limited success. He goes without food for over 7-8 hours at a stretch (eats breakfast at 8 in the morning and doesn't eat during short break or lunch school, the next meal is at 4 pm at home). Even this meal he hardly ever eats 4-5 spoons on his own. Being a twin sibling, at 4 years he is 5 kgs below and 5-6 cms below his brother. However, he still is within the 10 - 25 percentile range for his age range.

My Child is 25 months old. He is a fussy eater. He only eats plain paratha (salted) or roti (few bites), some fruits, sweets. He is heavily dependent on milk. He DOESN'T TAKE vegetables in any form; NOTHING for breakfast like bread, pizza, noodles, dalia, pancake, muffins. This results in making him feel hungry at night, and then keep asking for milk after ~every 2 hours, and doesn't sleep till 12:00 at night, sometimes 1-2 am because he feels hungry. Some rare days, he eats dal (arhar and moong) by putting rhymes in front of him, and those days he sleeps whole night. My question is: How to get him interested in what we eat (We tried eating with him, offering our food several several times, but he doesn't even taste); and how should I develop healthy eating habits for him and a love for food now and in future.

My son is 2.11 yrs. He likes and wants to have only milk in feeder. He would not have anything else no matter what u do...done with showing laptop birds dogs sun moon etc even left him to eat mess on his own but no luck. The biggest constraint is that he would not like to taste anything new. I am sure he would like but he wouldn't. If I refuse him milk then he can stay without it whole day but he will be very cranky. I have a year old baby also. Now seeing him even she would refuse food. Feeding time is a pain for me. Moreover I am worried about his weight. Not up to the mark. In school he would not have lunch as he doesn't eat anything except milk. I gave him pasta once with all veggies cut very small still he didn't have. I am very tensed as he has started to miss school these days because of it. It becomes difficult for teachers also to deal with him as he would not eat and due to hunger he would be cranky and would not listen to them.pls help how should I make him eat.
