yup, one of them - want to know your approaches.
DD is 2.10 and a fussy eater. She currently eats (pretty much guaranteed):
apple
banana
raspberries
strawberries
bread/toast/tortillas - with marmite or honey or peanut butter or almond butter
pasta and pesto
plain yoghurt
carby snacky style food (crackers, breadsticks etc)
chips
crisps
the white of boiled egg
cheese
She will often (but far from usually) eat:
houmous
beans and lentils
cous cous / quinoa
porridge (I make it with almond milk and cook with sunflower seeds and chia seeds)
scrambled egg
Goes without saying she'll eat cake (though not the ones I bake and sneak vegetables into), chocolate, sweets etc.
I know the above isn't actually that bad, despite not a single vegetable being on the list, but we are entering Mealtimes-as-Battleground territory and I'm guessing, as usual, it's in part down to my inconsistency.
So - what do you do with your toddler fussy eaters? Do you just give them what you know they'll eat? Do you occasionally introduce other food? Do you just put in front of them what everyone else is having (we have a gloriously unfussy DS who is nearly 6 and came out of his fussiness at around 3yo) and leave them if they don't eat?
My big frustrations are when she just refuses to a) even try something - particularly known foods (I'm hardly plonking raw oysters in front of her) and b) refuses to eat stuff out of the top list. I try to keep an eye on snacking, but maybe I should go with the flow on snacking but always offer nutritious good stuff? I do manage to sneak spinach into her diet in pesto and home made lollies..
At the end of my tether but also terrified of creating food = control and making food a battle
