I suppose I should be pleased that he loves vegetables (well, if they're peas, sweetcorn, carrots or potatoes) but I do worry he's missing out on something important in his diet. I do give him cheese, and he has lots of milk in his diet, plus yoghurts, but there are still things that I think only meat can give him. He's pretty fussy (like dur! He's a toddler ) so I don't reckon I'd have much luck with lentils or barley, or anything like that.
I'm trying to make sure his fairly limited diet is at least nutritious... he likes risotto, pasta (with nice home made veggie sauce), home made pizza and baked beans, but that's about it. Please tell me he's not going to end up with some dreadful defficiency. I know I should be grateful, he eats tons of fruit, loves dried fruit, spent ages eating handfuls of blackberries he picked today on our walk, but I'm just worried he's missing out on something.
