LeeAndra.. your kitchen isn't a cafeteria. Your SS should eat what has been prepared and if he doesn't then he isn't that hungry. My 4yo is very picky but I refuse to cook separate meals because he is refusing to 'try' different foods. His pedi said, if he's hungry he'll eat and if not, he doesn't. Bad habits can be created by catering to his tastebuds. Cater to DH's med needs and the SS will have to eat what's going.
Oh and after your sweet baby has arrived, having to make an array of food for breaky, lunch and dinner isn't even going to be possible!! It's extremely tiring and tough *imo* those first 6 months and you don't want to have to deal with that mess!!

When he is with us, he usually eats grilled pork/chicken/steak, corn, and a piece of sliced American cheese. The only other kind of vegetable he will eat is raw carrots with ranch dip. He will occasionally eat grapes or watermelon, but he will not eat any other kind of fruit. Sometimes, I can get him to eat strawberry yogurt for dinner instead of the slice of cheese if it's the smooth and creamy Yoplait brand. He will not eat mashed potatoes, Rice a Roni, noodles, or anything else like that. He only drinks apple juice or lemonade. When forced, he will eat a banana and either a Rice Krispie treat, a Poptart, or a small baggie of Frosted Flakes for breakfast, but otherwise would prefer not to eat in the mornings at all. Of course, he loves snacks, chips, etc. but we usually only have fruit snacks and RK treats at our house for snacks. He is likely also hypoglycemic.
