90. I was judgmental about this stuff until I had my second baby.

My first just ate what we gave him -- no problem. My daughter was the kind of baby who would seal her lips shut -- when she was 6 or 7 months old -- to vegetables and other healthy foods. It has been an ongoing battle for years, and, frankly, we've been worn down. It's not as easy as some people think if you have a kid who is off the spectrum on the stubbornness chart when it comes to eating. As I've found out over and over again, it is virtually impossible to FORCE someone to eat something.

I've had the super judgy, exasperated friend who said stuff like: "Oh, why don't you just tell her that the broccoli is little trees?" HAH! Good one. You think we didn't try every trick in the book, over and over?

To this day she has a somewhat limited diet, but she eats things like black beans, peanut butter and nuts, cheese, and hummus for protein, and eats quite a few fruits and a handful of vegetables.
