I blame his parents for giving in to him.
Train a child up, from an infant by feeding it healthy food. Not that canned junk you buy off-the-shelf or stuff in little tiny jars, you got to actually cook vegetables and mashed them yourself and sources of protein. I say sources of protein other than meat because there are many sources of protein. And that’s where you’ll find the B12.
And if the mother is nursing the mother needs to eat healthy during the nursing cycle. I haven’t kept up with pediatric methods, since I no longer have children living in the home but I will say that I’m pretty sure wet-nursing is the preferred feeding regimen for infants these days. But it’s been awhile since I really read anything concerning that.
‘I blame his parents for giving in to him.”
That was my first thought too. Reminds me of the commerical on TV where the Mother is running after a little girls of about 4 or 5 begging her to eat one more spoonful of veggies, to me that is sickening. No way would I ever run after my children begging them to eat a vegetable....
“an aversion to certain textures of food that he really could not tolerate”
Trust me, having a picky kid - unbelievably picky - is no picnic. Nothing works; they’re not stupid. I’m wondering if my son has this kind of problem as he does occasionally complain about the feeling.
Major parental fail in this situation. You are on target.
“I blame his parents for giving in to him.”
Interestingly enough, there is no mention of parents in the article.
