DS1 has never been the best eater. I just about used to get 7 dinners that he would eat which I thought was limiting but ok.
Now he won't eat anything... even things like pizza, sausages and burgers are 'too spiky', or 'not clean' (by this he means if something is in a sauce, or has a speck of anything else on it). He used to eat plain meat like chicken or thin steaks... now these are 'spiky' - ie where you cut the meat and a tiny shred of meat is hanging off.
He refuses tea every night and has honey and Greek yoghurt - his pudding. He refuses food at nursery and scrapes by on a a few crackers, some fruit and sometimes a sandwich.
Should I be worrying? This latest bout of bad eating seems to have accompanied a massive growth spurt and his language has really come on - not sure if that is linked. Sometimes he just pushes his tea away, other times he's really hungry but he just can't bring himself to eat it as it's spiky or whatever...
How should I be reacting. I try and be breezy and pretend it's not a problem, but sometimes I do try and help him and try and encourage him which is always fruitless.
Sorry for the ramble, it's doing my head in!
