As a baby dd would eat pretty much anything we have her with the exception of peas.
Since she turned 2 however the absolute only things she will eat are sausages of any variety and chicken. She flatly refuse to entertain anything else either saying she doesn't like it or she is full.
I know this is normal and although my hv said yesterday not to worry because she eats the fruits she isn't allergic to bloody eczema triggered by sodding citrus by the bucket load. However she was a bit concerned about dd having low iron levels as she will not entertain red meat. We don't eat a massive amount at home anyway but she would eat it as a baby ether in mush form or as chunks.
How the hell do I expand her food works without it becoming a battle? I don't want to turn dinner times into a fight, I remember my parents refusing to let us leave the table til we had cleared out plates and being physically sick over foods like lasagne and cheesy bake stuff (later diagnosed with dairy allergy and lactose intolerance) and I am adamant I won't do the same to dd. But I am so frustrated.
Any advice gratefully received!
