1 Year old Twins - transitioning to solid foods. How to "discipline" when refusing to eat?

Daycare's been closed for 3 weeks now and we're home w/ our kids full time.Our twin girls are 54 weeks old. We've already transitioned from baby bottles to sippy cup. still drinking about 12 ounces of formula a day but trying to convert that to milk. They eat 3 meals in their high chair a day, and get about 2 to 3 snacks. We've been observing that they've been increasingly picky. They love crap food right now, like pasta, bread and rice. We try to hide healthy food inside stuff we make, for example, zucchini pancakes with pork inside. we also make chickpea pasta instead of regular pasta, etc.We try to offer 2-3 options and put one thing at a time on their high chairs. sometimes they will refuse to try it, cry at the sight of it, and then throw it on the ground. Other things, if we put it on a fork for them, they will eat. We don't scream or scold if they throw stuff on the ground but we just say "no drop". I dont think that's been helping at all because they still do it. This has been the main stress of this whole formula to real food transition. We give them the bottle three times a day currently transitioning from formula to whole milk. once at wake up, once after lunch/before nap, and one right after dinner at bedtime.​Main questions: Should we just let a kid "skip" that meal if they throw everything on the floor ? Should we accomodate them and give them something they like (cheerios, or other prepackaged stuff which we've really been trying to avoid that they get fed at day care like veggie sticks, graham crackers, etc. )do we be persistant and keep offering the food they refused to try in the first place? Our pediatrician basically said to just let them skip the meal, "starve" them if you will and they will eat when they're hungry. I am not sure how long the timeline we should do this should be. I dont want to end up having to feed the kids only one thing (e.g. chicken nuggets only which a friend does).Do they just get over throwing food off their table? "No drop, kiddos!" doesn't work at all. its hard not to express any emotion sometimes we do but make it a point not to. meal times are incredibly stressful for the both of us. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2UxAmq3
