Yep! That was my thought as well, especially that we can carry the internet around and talk to pretty much anyone anytime.

He liked them! He just ate 4 of them. Thank you again!

It was. I haven't edited my post.

It happens so fast! I feel like I only had about a decade of getting the joke.

Thank you! Yes, ARFID has been on my radar since learning one of my friends has it and I'm curious if my son has it as well. I've definitely been guilty of not hiding my excitement when he tries a new food, so that's a helpful note.

Yes I agree with all of this!

So far no. He doesn't like ice cream, which is so wild to me!

No I hadn't heard of those! I'll check them out

Yes, that may be the answer. He's getting help through early intervention and on the waitlist to get tested for autism so see if that's what's causing his picky eating. Luckily his pediatrician is not urgently concerned about his diet because he's growing well enough and seems healthy, but since I've stopped breastfeeding I've been keeping track of what foods he's been eating and noticed how few vitamins are in all the things he'll eat.

Lots of good ideas, thank you!

That's a good idea. It's rare, but sometimes he will nibble on banana chips.

Not with real food, but I have saved the mcnuggets box and tried giving him other kinds of chicken nuggets. He nibbled on a couple and then made a look like "well this whole batch is messed up."
