My friend is really worried about her 7 year old ds. He is a fit and lovely little boy who is growing, but he doesnt like so many foods, hence she struggles to find new meals for him.
Here is what he likes and doesnt like so any ideas would be great:-
Hates:
cheese in anything
tomato toppings/sauces inc. baked bead, pizzas, etc.
Will only eat apples, no other fruit.
May occasionall eat a few peas or a slice of carrot.
I dont think he eats red meat and I dont think he likes pasta either. He eats mash potato at school but refuses it at home.
Eats
cod: fish fingers and fish cakes
small amount of roast chicken
garlic bread
tinned chunky veg soup
bread and butter
toast
some yoghurts but with no lumps.
His eating is linked to texture and smell, he will often decide whether to eat something purely on the initial smell. My list is brief. He does drink milk too. Its really hard on his mum she works full time so its very difficult to prepare meals that take a long time, any help or advice?
