I have written about this before, but it's been a few months, and there's been no improvement...

My daughter is the pickiest baby I've ever seen when it comes to food. I have talked to all of my friends, and only one has a very picky child, but he's still not as picky as Emma. Here's literally all she will eat...

Mac and Cheese
Grilled Cheese
Chicken Nuggets
French Fries
Strawberries
Watermelon
Bananas
Grapes (only sometimes)
Apples
Pears
Peaches
Anything sweet...lol
Baby oatmeal only
Gerber Puffs/Crunchies
Cheerios
Gerber cookies
Chips and Crackers

Since she won't eat ANY veggies, I give her V8 VFusion (one sippy) a day, and she gets a Pediasure at night. The main problem is that she struggles with extreme constipation, but she will mainly only eat things with cheese. IT'S SO FRUSTRATING!!! The hard part is she will look at something and not even try it. It wouldn't be so disheartening if she would at least attempt at eating things, but she will have no part in it... She won't eat anything with tomato sauce (pizza, spaghetti), she'll only eat macaroni or penne noodles, she hates rice, she won't eat soup, and hates white milk, she won't eat beef or hot dogs, even the veggie corn dogs that I've tried at the suggestion of my ONE friend with a picky eater.

When does this phase stop? I've had to reduce her to just chicken nuggets because she's so constipated! She's EXTREMELY strong-willed and stubborn, and she would probably eat chicken nuggets for everything if I kept it going...lol. She won't even eat chicken grilled!

Can someone sympathize with me and/or offer up some suggestions? Keep in mind, she's extremely texture-based... Nothing grainy (like rice) or mushy. She won't even eat mashed potatoes!
