Have you labelled it ‘Beige Only” because that’s what all the foods seem to be or does the child actually select the food because of the colour? I have had fussy eaters but not to that extent . If the child is saying only that colour maybe there is a bigger issue that you should mention to a Doctor. Otherwise if just fussy I wouldn’t make a big deal of it. Play dates are often good as they can be influenced by what their friends are eating.

Wow that’s so interesting! I have heard of some kids on the autism spectrum only liking certain colours and textures so it couldn’t hurt to see a paediatrician just to keep an eye on it over the next few months/years. I’m no professional and personally I think your child will just grow out of it eventually. Just keep patience and encouraging tiny taste tests of new foods.

My toddler is quite the opposite, she only prefers meats (chicken, fish), snacks (fruits, crackers, cookies), but rarely tries anything with rice. While we don’t force her, we always expose her to rice and other options.

I agree with seeking and getting advice from a dietician. We did this and it was incredibly useful and assisted us with planning meals and eating more foods. Dieticians can be a terrific resource and can help to settle concerns about food and eating. We ended up getting some great resources too.

My toddler had a huge beige stage, it was driving me crazy. His go to meals were plain white rice with kewpie mayo, toast, dry Cheerios, and a few fruits and veggies. I started slowly adding very finely shredded chicken to the rice, then finely diced mushrooms, until he finally went back to eating. We had to see a dietitian early on when he was transitioning to solids as he didn’t want to eat at all and I found it very helpful.

All children are different when it comes to eating and food. We have a wide spectrum of tastes and preferred foods in our family. It is important if there are any concerns about eating and food to follow up with a professional. A GP is always a good starting point and they can always refer to other professionals for strategies and support.

Not with beige food, but at one stage my youngest who was probably 3ish at the time didnt like the texture of ‘mushy’ foods like bananas. Luckily it was short lived. We never tried to force her to eat it but we often went out on weekends to eat at new places or restaurants and allowed her to try anything she felt like, without the force. Now she loves eating all sorts of things! I’d say just constant exposure. If you think it could be something more, it’s worth getting proper advice!
