My 21 month old, previously a great eater, has refused every evening meal I’ve made him this week. I’d assumed that this was just a toddler phase and he’d eat when hungry enough. However, my DH is of the view that I’m making our meals too ‘exotic’ and I need to offer plainer things.
This week I’ve made:
Mon: hot smoked salmon and veg - refused
Tues: bbq - he did actually eat this
Weds: moussaka - refused
Thurs: smoked haddock tart - refused
Fri: Thai prawn stir fry - refused.
I really didn’t think any of that was particularly adventurous! But to test the theory I ended up making a replacement meal of nuggets and chips this evening 
when he refused the stir fry, and he ate everything so he must be hungry.
I don’t want to starve my DS but nor do I want to inadvertently create a fussy eater and I’d like him to have a varied and interesting diet.
Any ideas for how to deal with meal refusal (I assume don’t give a replacement is top of the list 
) and/or any failsafe recipes would be massively appreciated!
