Fruit and Veg

Hi all,
My 3 yr old has gone off her fruit and veg. She use to eat her dinners like clockwork but now point blank refuses to eat any meal I cook her unless it's a Jacket potato with cheese, or bloody chicken nuggets. Fish fingers she will eat but not her veg to go with it. How do I re-introduce her fruit and veg? Is this just a phase? Today she didn't eat anything apart from her cereal this morning. I made a roast dinner she didn't want it. Didn't give her any treats and she was hungry but point blank refused again when I gave it to her. Any ideas would be helpful?

Look up division of responsibility.
Just keep offering, low pressure. Probably just a phase :)

I think when they are a little ill, I've always given them what they will eat for a few days. They usually go back to eating normally once they're well.

You could try her with a dose of paracetamol tomorrow and see if that picks her up a bit Smile
