Its driving me mad! DS is 21mths and the food fads are getting worse!
I've made him a huge range of foods from scratch but he just refuses them if he doesn't like the look of them! We are now down to alternating between cauli/broc cheesy pasta bake and sweet potatoes with scrambled eggs, beans/sweetcorn as that is the only thing that meets with approval!
I've duplicated recipies that I know he eats at nursery but he takes one look and screams no. He has to like the look of the food before he even gets into high chair!
DH says I need to start being firmer and not offering alternatives, which I admit I did tend to do as he's had a lot of colds lately and so I've been more lenient because he's been poorly etc
How best to deal with this now? He's even getting to the stage where he screams at red food - tuna pasta bake, me putting tomato puree on a pizza base etc...
