22month old gone off foods, especially fruit

[Littleraysofsunshine]

she use to love everything, and have a variety of things. She particularly has gone off lunch time (especially fruit and salady things)
Dinner is turning into an effort most days now where she makes herself gag or just spits it out.

I just dont know whats going on????

some days shes fine, others its such a bother.

Same story here, and same age. I'm told its very normal. DS has gone off cereal so I've been trying to give him something different when possible. Yesterday i resorted to returning to his baby age and crushed a pear up to sweeten his porridge. He ate the whole bowl full for the first time in weeks. I'm trying to give him a choice where possible so he feels more in control and independent. There is usually one meal a day when he eats practically nothing. I just calmly remove it and don't offer an alternative. He'll eat when he's hungry. I don't offer dessert either, but don't make a fuss about it. DS loves grazing, so I'll sometimes give him something he likes as a snack, like a banana. Then he'll usually eat the meal after the one he's missed. Toddlers don't need much to fill them so chances are they're getting all their calories throughout the day regardless. Just avoid turning mealtimes into battles and I'm sure they'll get over it.

matana gives very good advice.

Keep offering food in different formats but don't ever be bothered if she doesn't eat it. Your job is to put the food on the highchair tray then to clear it up afterwards. What happens in between must be left up to your DD.

If you want to give her purées, etc only offer the spoon a couple of times. If she isn't enthusiastic take it away.

She will get over it if you stay relaxed and act as if you couldn't care less what she ate, even if you're screaming inside!
