Last night DS (21 months) didn't want his dinner. He was well all day so not ill. It wasn't anything new that he hadn't had before. We tried again about 45 minutes later but he still didn't want it. In the end I gave in and got him a banana and a very small piece of biscuit which he did eat. I still felt guilty as he hadn't eaten properly.
We quite often have this situation. He's just not a hungry boy, never has been and its quite rare for him to finish a whole bowl full.
What is the best thing to do in this situation? Do you go and cook something else and risk him turning out fussy and refusing food because he knows he will get something else? Or do you stand firm and not provide anything else?
