My 2.5 year old son seems to live on air.
His eating is starting to keep me up at night so I need to tackle it but just don't know where to start.
He is perfectly healthy and not underweight so there is no issue with introducing diets but he just doesn't seem interested in food.
He will eat a creamy pasta dish that I make (hidden veg and fish/ chicken in there)
He will eat a few bites of chicken, fish fingers and he likes beans.
He likes grapes as a snack and maybe lick an apple.
I try him with new foods all the time but whatever it is he seems to have a few bites and that's it.
Surely a 2.5 year old needs more than a few bites at each meal?
Do I give up and just carry on being grateful whenever he eats something, whatever it is or do I start being strict?
What do others do with fussy eaters?
