Thank you Ted.   Hopefully he’s not eating non-food items because he’s craving them, just putting things in his mouth.  Hopefully he stays this easy with foods, he might change.  

I found the challenging part is making sure I fed the children what they needed first while also juggling everything else.  When they are young, their bodies tell them what they need before we mess it all up.   

I  read those reports linking ADD/ADHD (and have a son with ADHD and Asperger’s) and have decided to forgo any conventionally grown berries.  There are other vegetables and fruits that don’t seem to harbor as many chemicals when treated, so some fruits and veggies I buy organic and others I don’t mind buying conventionally grown.  I also try to buy local because I can actually ask the farmer what they use as far as pesticides, fertilizers and hormones (meat/dairy). I do belong to a CSA near us and though they aren’t “certified organic” they use organic methods.  There are lists of fruits and veggies online that tell you which ones to always buy organic.   http://www.thedailygreen.com/healthy-eating/eat-safe/Dirty-Dozen-Foods

Your wife might have a strange appetite during the pregnancy.   I had aversions to certain foods especially their smells, but mostly craved plain Romaine salads with one type of Italian dressing and hamburgers.  As long as you and/or your wife eats with your son it instills a great pattern for the future and it will be much easier to introduce foods. 

Good luck with your little one… and one on the way.
