A member asked:

Hi my son is an incredibly picky eater, mostly about texture. i am looking for advice on how to improve his diet as he has a very limited range of foods he will eat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Picky eater: Set a good meal schedule and keep it consistent. Offer variety of foods and do not try to control amounts that he will eat. Limit desserts. For more information read this https://www.ucsfbenioffchildrens.org/education/picky_eaters/
