    Healthy Meals??

    I have a sibling set and was just informed about the types of meals they eat at home. I normally don't worry about this, as I feed the kids healthy meals here. Lately the infant has been having seriously smelly enormous blow outs, extremely gassy and crankier than usual. So I ask whats being fed at home. The response is Chipotle, pizza, pork n beans, Vienna sausages and things of that sort. I ask how often for formula and baby cereal. Response I maybe a bottle in the morning and a bottle full of cereal at bedtime. The baby is 9 months. This is so unhealthy in my opinion. How do you, if at all encourage families of infants to push more formula than food. Also now the baby is beginning to refuse and spit out formula, homemade food( pureed fruits, veggies, meat), and baby cereal that I offer during the day. The sibling is pretty aggressive, non verbal, gassy and tantrums very often, poops about 3 times during the day. Not liquid, but very smelly and pudding consistency. Anyone dealt with this before? Suggestions? Thanks

    I'm really sorry.

    I had a family that thought that chicken nuggets were considered a meat. It was awful. I ended up terming them for behavioral issues, but the food situation was a battle. The 3 year old would just sit there and wouldn't eat anything. He wouldn't even eat a cheeseburger. He wanted chicken nuggets and fries, or peanut butter and jelly.

    His little brother would just spit stuff out or throw it.

    I really, really tried to hide good stuff, but it wasn't fair to my other kids who are REALLY good eaters. It also wasn't teaching them anything, because they were always willing to try new things and he wasn't.
