Just looking for advice on that really...and should this post even be in weaning, I feel we should be past this by now!
I'm worried my 18 month DD doesn't eat a wide enough variety of food, textures tastes etc
But rather than it being about her being fussy (well it is a bit) I mean more from the stuck in a rut type of thing with me. I suffered from/still do to an extent post natal anxiety so weaning wasn't easy for me and still now I worry so much about choking or food being too hard for her to chew properly. I'm also slightly paranoid about salt and sugar, acids from fruit juice etc and I feel I've stuck to the same 'safe' foods in my head as I know she's ok.
I'm totally aware I need to encourage her to try lots of different foods (also got great counselling to deal with the PNA) But I'm worried my experimentation now is a case of too little too late.
Don't get me wrong she ate lots of different tastes when weaning but I seem to struggle with the idea she can have bigger chunks now or experiment more with flavours and textures. She won't have anything else other than water from a cup drinks wise and only has milk from a bottle most fresh fruit is flung away and I know that it takes so many tries for them to accept a new food but I think I'm tying myself up in knots of worry! I agonise over whether or not a chickpea will choke her!
Phew. Long post! Anyone care to give me some sensible advice and a good talking to?!
