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

So did you create this thread because you're fishing for people to say that their child is much fussier than your and aren’t you doing such a good job getting them to eat so many different types of food etc?
luckily my dc aren’t fussy but if they were your post would make me feel terrible.

We had a list of 5 things at one point when dd was 3. That includes treats. I was thrilled when we expanded the carb and dairy heavy list to 10.

It was and remains to this day brand specific. if I get the wrong chicken or the wrong milk she can tell and can’t eat it.

Your child does not sound like a picky eater.
