For the best part of a year my LG (now 2.5) has been a really fussy eater- she hasn't eaten meat, any form of sauce, and most vegetables since last year.
She was on 0.4 centile when she was born and crept up to between 9 and 25th centiles, so I did think "oh well, at least she's eating something" and give her a snack after she refused the meal she refused. I just wanted her to grow and develop.
I have flitted between that and "No, that's your dinner. That or nothing" but neither tactic is working and I don't know what to do.
As the year has gone on more and more food has dropped off and there's now barely a meal she'll eat.
She's so bright, funny, meeting all her milestones, sleeps beautifully, full of energy - do deep down I know she's fine but it's driving me insane that her diet is so limited and I just want someone to reassure me that "no, that's your dinner" is okay or that just give her a banana, she'll come around eventually will work.
She eats cereal, bread, cheese, strawberries, bananas, yogurt, pastry, raisins, the occasional chunk of carrot, baked potato, eggy bread, salmon goujons, tuna mayo.
Sorry for crazy long post. Thank you.
