My little boy will be 3 in September. He used to eat anything really happily but over last 6 months has really gone downhill. He will eat cereal and bread products for breakfast which is fine. He eats sliced sausage and mango for lunch, refuses anything else. Dinner will not eat anything except fish fingers. I have continued to serve him normal dinners with the rest of the family. When the plate is put in front of him he starts to cry and says he doesn't like it. He also says it "has bits in", "is dirty" or "broken". His behaviour is getting quite phobic and extreme. I'm very distressed about it as he is so thin and you can see all his ribs. I give him a vitamin and iron tablet every day but would really love him to eat a varied balanced diet. I also have a 4 year old girl and am 17 weeks pregnant. Any advice would be gratefully received, thank you.
