Ds nearly 2 eats a very restricted diet of fruit, weetabix, porridge oats, toast with marmite or jam or peanut butter, cheese, yogurt pancakes, biscuits and sometimes oven chips. I cannot get him anything else, he pushes it away and refuses to try anything. He will lick something new once and that's it. I don't want to start a battle around food, he is on his curve weight wise. He does not try to eat meat at all, I'm concerned that he might not be getting enough nutrients, vitamins etc.
Does anyone else have this dilemma or had and do they eventually start eating or do you have to follow the "starvation" method (nothing else to eat except whats on the plate?)
TIA
