DD is 3 years old, generally a good eater, loves meat, fish, dairy, fruit and veg, but is really, really fussy about starchy foods.
She won't eat potato in any form, even chips, turns up her nose at pasta and rice, hardly eats bread, won't even touch cake.
I serve up a portion of potato/rice/bread on her plate every single mealtime, and she will usually just eat round it, only exception is she will eat cereal at breakfast time, and she will eat croissants (of all things), which she absolutely loves. I can sometimes get her to eat biscuits or crisps, but they're hardly healthy anyway, and she will eat cheese on toast, but I can't give her that every meal.
She is getting worse now, we used to be able to get some pasta or rice down her but she is just refusing now. I'm feeling worried that she won't eat such a major foodgroup.
Has anyone else had to deal with this? I find myself saying ridiculous things like you can't have any more salad until you've eaten one chip.
