“When & How to Introduce Supplements to Picky Eaters”

Intro:
Does mealtime with your child feel like a battlefield? You’re not alone. Studies show that nearly 50% of kids are picky eaters at some stage — which means key nutrients can easily fall through the cracks.

Body:
If your child consistently refuses whole food groups (like veggies or fish), it may be time to talk to your pediatrician about supplements. Common gaps include iron, zinc, and omega-3.
But remember: supplements should add to real food, not replace it!

✅ Practical Tips:

• Try a kid-friendly gummy or liquid format they’ll accept.

• Involve kids in meal prep — they’re more likely to taste what they make.

• Use a reward chart for tasting new foods.

Closing:
A gentle, consistent approach + the right supplement can help you worry less about nutrition gaps.
