My 19month old DD has narrowed what she will eat and will rarely try anything new. Apart from the odd spag bol, I've never managed to get her to eat any meat ever.
She will eat: pumpkin seeds, all fruit under the sun, chips, baked beans, toast, cucumber and tomato's (recent additions), pasta, cheese (only if it's grated) and that's pretty much it. No egg anymore, no meat. I've offered her loads of stuff and she won't even try it.
But.. my question is, how do you handle it? do you offer one meal only and that's it if she doesn't eat it? Still offer pudding? Or put a variety on the plate?
Last night she didn't want her spag bol, but she had yoghurt and banana for pudding and was asking for 'more', which I didn't give her. Later I could tell she was still desperately hungry so gave her a baby biscuit. But I feel like this offers no incentive to eat dinner.
Please pleeeaaase share with me what you all do so I can sort myself out and formulate a better plan of action! This is driving me nuts!
