My Toddler Refuses to Eat

Our new Moms Talk Q&A feature is here to help you deal with situations like these and more.

The Moms Talk feature on Winchester Patch  is part of a new initiative on our Patch sites to reach out to moms and families.

Winchester Patch invites you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support for mothers and their families right here in Winchester.

Each week in Moms Talk, our local moms will take your questions, give advice and share solutions.

Moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community will have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians, 24-hour pharmacies and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children.

Moms Talk will also be the place to drop in for a talk about the latest parenting hot topic. Do you know of local moms raising their children in the Tiger Mother's way and is it the best way? Where can we get information on local flu shot clinics for children? How do we talk to our children about tragedy? How can we help our children's schools weather their budget cutbacks?

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today with a question from a local mom: 

Q: My toddler refuses to eat or at least eat anything healthy. He loves candy, chips, pretty much anything that he shouldn't be eating as a meal. What can I do to get him to eat regular food?
