To ask what I did wrong with DC1 (re picky eating!!) before weaning baby no.2?!

The title says it all really. DS is now just 4 (soon to start reception) and as picky as he was aged 2. The foods he currently likes have changed over that time - a lot, actually- but he always has a List of foods he will and won't eat and just obsesses about them until things slightly change. At mealtimes I either feel like a total failure (for just serving the ridiculous plain food that he will eat) or wound up with tension (for daring to serve something I know he won't touch for the sake of variety).

His baby sister is 4.5 months and as I start to think about puréed etc again I'm just wondering how the two of them eating will influence one another, hoping she won't pick up his habits 'no I don't like it' etc and wondering what I can do differently to make sure I don't end up with two fusspots!!

Anyone been there and got knowledge?!

I suspect my Dh has done similar in the last! I would find lolly sticks and all sorts in the car. It is important that you are both consistent though. Just a few ground rules can help.

I went through a stage of throwing away so many uneaten vegetables I nearly gave up, I am glad I stuck with it though.
