Almost 2-yr-old still on baby food!

[5 Little Monkeys]

I sort of agree with both sides. I make one meal and that's it. If it's something that I obviously know a child really really doesn't like than I will add something to the meal that I know they do like so that at least they are eating something. Or I will make sure afternoon snack is one they will eat. I do think kids will eat once they get hungry enough but this can only go on for so long.

It sounds like you have given this a fair shot and have also spoke to the parents. I treat some things case by case and I think in this case, I would ask the parents to supply his food and just continue to offer him things from time to time that the rest are having. Eventually they have to stop the baby food and hopefully it's sooner rather than later but for now, I think that's what I would do. No point in stressing about something that the parents aren't obviously ready for.

If you are concerned about the nutrients he is likely not getting and if you feel comfortable with it, I would email the parents a link that shows the age appropriate food kids should be eating.
