Nuggets won't work forever because they can make him gain unhealthy weight and he'll miss out on important nutrients. But keep the faith. Picky eating is VERY common at this age. No need to worry that he'll never eat vegetables. Don't "force" him to eat anything. That could make him hate a food for life. Instead, keep offering lots of interesting, safe, and healthy food choices, including foods he can feed himself. He may shock you one day when he goes for the broccoli. If you’re concerned he’s not getting enough nutrients, talk with your pediatrician.

Pacifiers are actually good for infants. But pediatricians say you should wean your child off his binky when he's about 6 months old. That cuts his risk of getting an ear infection. If he goes past 2 years old, it can cause permanent problems with his teeth. Try piercing the hole or cutting the tip to make sucking less satisfying. Or tell your child that he’s a big kid now and that when big kids give up their pacies, they go to new babies who need them. Make a big show of it.
