Spaghetti can be eaten most successfully if you inhale it like a vacuum cleaner.

I never had issues with my children’s appetites until two months ago, when my son turned 32 months. What happened remains a mystery to me, but he used to eat whatever you put on his tray or plate. He would devour all of it like an adult.

Now, he won’t even try it if it is something new to his eyes!

My daughter, on the other hand, continues to be a great eater. She will eat vegetables, fruits, pasta, chicken, beef, pork, and whatever else you can think of, like a good girl. Yesterday, she turned 16 months old.
