Ie those with the misfortune of having one in their family or somebody medical.
I need some advice on why ds is like this and what to do next.
Ds is one of 2 non identical twins 5 I also have a 4 year old daughter. The other 2 are fantastic eaters,dp and I are real foodies I lived abroad when tiny and was weaned on food from street markets I love any food and enjoy experimenting.
Ds was a nightmare from day 1. He was weaned from the same bowl of homemade food as twin 1. I followed AK so he was bombarded with new flavours. We've never given in and given him alternatives,he's always gone hungry, we've never got stroppy just ignored it and made him just taste it. As far as I can see we've done it by the book. Why then is he the most fussy eater known to man?
He loves fruit,w/m bread,peanut butter,yog,fish fingers,sausages(which he now skins),cereal,milk. I'm getting concerned as he was doing really well but is now rapidly adding things he's always liked to his leaving on the side of the plate list. I'm also concerned he never eats veg and is going to bed hungry night after night having eaten no tea. He will only eat tea if it's sausages or fishfingers which it rarely is. He gets really hungry but refuses to eat things he says he doesn't like. He's at school now so this isn't good.
How do I handle this do I get stroppy or order him to eat it, I exploded over a lamb stew for the 1st time and he ate it. I just want to know the right way of handling things so he eats more than a bowl of cereal,peanut butter sandwiches and an apple daily.
Thanks in advance
