Hi
I am very concerned about my 3 year old diet and her refusal to try new food . This is what she eats normally This is what my 3 year old eats Multiple vegetables (including stronger flavors like rocket, beetroot, seaweed, broccoli)

  • Several fruits banana apples strawberries and pears big oranges
  • Different protein sources (chicken, fish cakes, lentils, quorn meatballs , yogurt, nut yogurt)
  • Mixed dishes and sauces (lentil ragù, satay sauce, lasagna) (crunchy with olive oil crackers, soup, hummus, yogurt, toast, celery and fennel , fortified granola with almonds

doesn't eat eggs , cheese or beans and still gag if she eats food that don’t agree with her

It’s just they are so crunchy you would definitely need teeth.

I wondered that but was too scared of the answer to ask.

I wonder if she means that all the child consumes orally is some chips, pear and apple, meaning the child needs an alternative means of feeding for the majority of their nutrition, such as a feeding tube.

OP, your 3 year olds diet sounds great.

OP, is there something specific that you want your child to eat?

My friend’s son ate cracottes and green apples only for about 18 months. He ended up studying Biology at Oxford.

That diet looks fine.

Well I don't know about anyone else but I keep my teeth in my mouth.
