Diary of a 24 M really fussy eater

Snack : banana or apple
Nap : milk
Lunch : homemade chicken , courgettes and potatoes meatballs , plus carrot stick

She also has : leanpork and boiled eggs meatballs , lasagna , sausages , homemade hazelnut meringue , apples , pears , pesto with disguised spinach and courgette , Greek yogurt , hummus with crackers , bolognese .

Not a fan of rice , certain pasta sauces , won’t touch eggs or cheese , sometimes she won’t have dinner if something she doesn’t fancy what I cooked 😌

Bed : milk

Does this sound like sensory issues

I read this as as 24 year old male.
LTB

So did I!! 😂

Tbf, lots of 24 year olds love a nap and a huge glass of milk!

Definitely
"Does this sound like a really fussy eater"? 🙄Yeah, sure, so very fussy...

Me too 😂

Good lord no! My own DD wouldnt touch anything more than Chicken,Yoghurt ,Broccoli Spag bol or ham for years .Even now a bit sniffy!Really dont worry she sounds like shes doing great.Our friends DH wont eat anything but Carrots veg wise !

Well I feel personally attacked by this post as I have an actual fussy toddler who is in a "refusing to try anything remotely new" phase! 😁She likes bread. She likes butter. She likes cheese. So I'll make her a cheese sandwich, what's not to like? NO ABSOLUTELY NOT, MUMMY.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. I know how anxiety inducing it can be to get the little beggars to eat a healthy varied diet, but it sounds like you're doing a really good job.

Also ignore the mean replies! You would obviously like a bit of reassurance, I can see you're not trying to brag at all. It would be a nicer place here if people thought a little about how their replies might feel to someone seeking out support. You're doing good mama, keep it up!

Me too

Sounds like a 2 year old to me.

Relax.

When I was a child I only ate cries, yoghurt, chicken, chips. Refused all other food.

My (admittedly a good eater) 12 year old spat pesto out aged 2 and has refused to touch it since. So your DD has one over on him. 🤣

Was mentioning the ‘home made’ bread and ‘home made’ meatballs stuff absolutely necessary? What difference does that make? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Seems far from fussy to me, for context at the same age until about 3 my mum told me i would only eat strawberry jelly and wouldn't even entertain anything else and even now I stick to the same familiar foods at aged 35 😅 your child's diet honestly looks great

I'm 37 and I would love a nap and a hazelnut meringue please.

This! That is NOT a fussy child and it's a wide variety of food. Don't look for problems where there aren't any!

This isn't fussy. For context, my DD at that age are 3 foods. Milk, apples, and plain pasta.

That is NOT a fussy eater, trust me.

God you really don't know restrictive eating. My eight year old wouldn't dream of eating any of that.

Tbh I’d specify something like that on here cos otherwise you’ll get realms of posters telling you it’s all processed crap.

Oh gosh I think her diet is more wonderful and varied than mine 😂 in all seriousness, this sounds fantastic, a lovely mix of lots of types of different things, you're doing great! I know toddlers who only want to touch fish fingers/chips/chicken nuggets etc so this is a wonderful and healthy variety!

Same 😂

Sorry but I agree with this!

Thought you were talking about a 24 year
Old male, why couldn't you just say 2 year
Old?

Sounds normal to me.

*reams obviously

Of track but what’s homemade chicken ? 🤣🤣
