Ask Dr. Mama |

Please read Dr. Mama's question:
Dear Dr. Mama,
Our little Angel is 28 months old and came to live with us about 3 weeks ago. He's adjusting to our family really well and just craves attention and love, and we're giving him all we've got. We have no other children, and my husband and I do all we can to eat healthy, fresh foods without a lot of preservatives or sugar added. The problem is, our new little guy seems to have developed some bad habits along the way and asks for foods that we don't even keep in the house! He turns up his nose at whole wheat bread and isn't too happy with vegetables. When we're at the store he asks for the worst sugary cereals and junk food. I try to explain that it's not good for him, but of course he doesn't understand. He's scheduled for a visit with his biological family next week, and I'm worried that they'll feed him all kinds of junk! How can I get nutritious food into this guy?
