For about the last 2 months my DS is eing REALLY picky aout food - it's not even really about the actual food, usually as soon as I even start to say 'lunch is ready' he says 'i DON'T like it' - so he's often got no idea what it is.
Generally I'm calm about it, i know he won't starve, it's just a phase etc etc nut I'm starting to feel a it worried (and I'm getting really frustrated).
Today has been pretty normal:
breakfast - tiny (handful maybe) portion of shreddies
lunch - pasta and garlic bread (ate half the garlic bread (so half a small slice) and nothing else
Tea - leftover pasta from lunch (it used to be a favourite) - refused it, ate 3 blueberries and a sip of milk. He asked for toast but also didn't eat it.
Possibly had a snack at preschool but wouldn't tell me what it was.#
Refused snack of apple, raspeberries and blueberries.
So I'm just wondering if i should just keep serving up what we normally eat, make no fuss when he doesn't eat it and just hope he eventually starts eating normally again? Even if I serve up pizza or fish fingers - the response is pretty much the same. At most, he will take the tiniest of nibbles, proclaim 'I tried it!' and shove the plate away.
I do usually offer toast for tea if it's something he doesn't really like so I know he isn't hungry at bedtime (eg if we had something new that he may well not like or fish - as I know he's not that keen on it). But i don't usually do it if it's something he likes (because he used to eat it!).
I did tonight because it's so cold and he's barely eaten all day, not that it helped.
Any advice??
