Can anyone please provide some words of wisdom, I'm in a constant 3 times a day battle with my DS and food.
He's had a cold for the last few days so is literally refusing to eat most things but even when he's well he's rubbish and I never know what he's going to like from one day to the next. He throws more on the floor than he eats, refuses any veg and most meat. He will eat most fruit but even then sometimes he's hit and miss. Previous favourites like sweet potato and eggs are being refused recently too. He's had strops, tears, the works when I've tried to get him to eat.
The most annoying thing is when he's at nursery 2 days a week they always say he's eaten really well, including veg and even while he's not been well.
I've tried letting him feed himself with hands, with his own spoon and fork (as they do at nursery) and tried spoon feeding him but no joy.
We did blw which was ok but I did find it stressful, we have had the odd week where he's been really good and eats anything and I think he's turned a corner then we are back to this. I'm worried now he's started to lose weight (admittedly more so since he's had this cold so to be more expected)
Any wise words please? I'm sooooo frustrated.
