I have 2 dds, 2.8yo and 14mo.
DD1 has always been a fussy eater and is a bit of a picker, she cna go for days without seeming to eat then spens next 3 days just easting anything in sight.
She loves fruit, will eat fruit all day long. She will not touch veg, she won't eat most savoury things but does like fish, potatoes and macaroni (not altogether). She will eat sandwiches with cheese or ham, nothing else and loves cheese.
But trying to get her to eat anything else is a nightmare.
DD2 was a dream when weaning but in past month or so has gotten quite fussy, i think its more texture than anything else and maybe caused by teething. But she does not like fish. Well actually she does but she vomits if she eats fish.
I'm just not very inspired when it comes to new ideas and need advice on how to deal with DD1. I made soup yesterday and DD2 was eating quite happily until DD1 announce (without picking up her spoon) that it was yucky. So DD2 then kept shaking her head and saying yucky! Arghhh....
So how do you deal with fussy eaters? What works? Tonight neither would eat dinner so they got nothing else but is 14mo too young to do that?
Mealtimes really stress me out at the moment so i could do with some help!
