Hi, I've been wondering about posting for a while.
My ds used to be fantastic at eating whilst weaning, would always try new fruit/veg has always been a little fussy with meat.
He's now 17 months old and completely refuses new foods (or food he hasn't seen in a while) if it's something new he will touch it with one finger, make a face and pucker his lips. If we leave it on his table he gets really upset and looks almost traumatised
He's surviving off of a diet of weetabix, cheerios, porridge or toast for breakfast. (with some fruit either banana, raspberries, strawberries or apple)
Cheese spread sandwiches and cucumber pieces for dinner - obviously loves raisins as well.
And fish fingers/chicken nuggets with a potato side either mash or waffles/alphabets with mixed veg (usually only eats the peas and carrots)
He eats like a trooper at nursery but I don't exactly know what he has - would it be reasonable for me to ask for his food writing down so I know?
Im starting to worry because whenever I cook something myself from scratch he turns his nose up at it and only really wants to eat freezer food/processed crap
Is this normal toddler behaviour or could he have some underlying issues?
