I believe it is far too early to have reached the picky eating stage, but alas we are here. At about a week before his first birthday, Adam decided that he only wanted to eat fruit. Now don't get me wrong, a kid loving fruit is great, no? Yeah, but not so great when it's the only thing he will eat.
He was sick this past week with yet another ear infection, which marks #5, but who's counting... (I've scheduled an appt with the ENT doctor for January, don't you worry)
Anyway, back to the picky eating. This past week has been difficult in the eating department. At dinner, Adam would decide he only wanted to drink his milk and have nothing to do with food. We finally got him to start eating a little, but that consisted of peaches, pears and bananas. We went to the doctor yesterday for his ear infection, and sure enough he had lost about 1 lb in the last week due to his new eating habits, among other things (but I will spare you those details).
Do/did you have experience with a picky eater? What did you do? We will try anything! He's almost 1 and only weighs 20 lbs! I use to have a chunker for a baby, now he's a skinny mini!
I'm hoping this will be a short lived phase, but only time will tell. We're having lasagna tonight, and he LOVES spaghetti (or at least he use to), so maybe he'll eat some of that. Who knows!

The ear infection and not wanting to eat could be related. My daughter also has had a lot of ear infections, and I noticed she doesn't eat as well when she has them. Last time she had an ear infection she would only eat bread. Maybe it hurts them to eat, and they are only willing to eat what looks really tempting to them. idk though. Good luck at the ENT!
