Ds is 19 months. It's know it's a common problem but dd1 was never like it so new experience for me. He eats breakfast no problem.
Lunch and dinner can be anyone's guess. Today I served ham, cheese, toast and cherry tomatoes for lunch. Ds screamed and wouldn't eat it. I put him for nap first incase he was too tired. He was the same afterwards but eventually around 2pm at the cheese and a few crackers.
Dinner he had rice, salmon and peas. He had this yesterday and wolfed it down. Today he screamed, pushed the bowl and wouldn't eat it. I did what I have read on here and gave him his dessert, yoghurt, anyway. He refused the meal when I reoffered it later. I have given him a bit of dry cereal before bed as I feel bad about a little one so young going without any food before bed.
I have remained calm at every meal but this happens so often I don't know when he's going to lose it or just eat it. I feel super stressed leading up to every meal. What's a good approach?
