DS5 is really fussy. We've tried all the usual advice to make him less so; not getting stressed at eating time, putting new foods on his plate, asking him to try a little, not asking him to try anything etc... We've been having some success recently with trying to expand his 'safe foods' by introducing things that are similar to foods he will already eat. I'm getting stuck for new similar foods though. Below is a list of what he eats now and some new ones we've had success adding this month. Can anyone think of any other foods we can try that are similar to foods he will already eat to try to expand his range further? I'm particularly interested in a fussy child friendly, non 'bitty' tomato pasta sauce (recipe or shop bought)
Foods he'll eat now:
Peanut butter
Greek yoghurt
Boiled eggs
Cucumber
Olives
Bananas
Apples
Grapes
Chips
Cream cheese
Cheddar
Whole milk
Pork Sausage
Hot dog sausages
Baked beans
Tinned spaghetti
Tomato soup
Strawberries and raspberries
Pizza (if it’s cheese and tomato and not over cooked)
Bread of various types, always soft and white
Crackers
Garlic bread
Pasta
Chips
Potato waffles
Rice
Weetabix
Honey
Treats of various kinds, crisps, choc, biscuits etc...
Macaroni cheese
Sausage rolls
Hummus
Additional foods he ate Sept 2019:
Sweet potato fries
Feta
Egg noodles
Chicken sausages
