Baby only eats a few favorite foods
⚡ Short answer: Single-food eating sounds worrying, but this type of "cradle selectivity" is extremely common in 1-3 year olds — it's a developmental phase and usually temporary.

My son only eats pasta and yogurt, he refuses everything else. How do I break this picky eating?

Single-food eating sounds worrying, but this type of "cradle selectivity" is extremely common in 1-3 year olds — it's a developmental phase and usually temporary. Forcing backfires; pressure makes them resist that food even more. Instead, try this: offer new foods weekly without any pushing, as a small piece next to the pasta, with no expectation that he'll eat it. Let him just see it, touch it, smell it — that's the first step. It helps a lot if he sees you enjoying it at the same table. Within 2-3 weeks, if there's still no progress, talk to a feeding specialist or your child's doctor about possible sensory sensitivities. For now, pasta and yogurt are nourishing basics, so don't panic.
