Troubles eating!!

Hi Mumsnet,

We've got a bit of a problem with our 21 month old DS. He's been always a bit picky with eating but we had at least 6 or 7 dishes he would eat without a problem. After his hfmd he's gone off the pasta, chicken and fish (fingers) and egg. I've got to make a few small portions of different foods in the hope he'll eat something. It's now often that he'll have a peanut butter sandwich as last resort 😔 Without fail he'll have his pud and I'm making sure during and before dinner he doesn't drink a lot.

We're literally stuck at baked beans (2 or 3 spoons) anything potato and peanut butter sandwiches for dinner 🤦🏻‍♀️ It's horrible and not healthy even though he's got a big all round vitamin every day.
It's been like this for a few weeks now and we don't know what else to do!! Any tips or advice is absolutely welcome 💐💐

My DD was incredibly fussy, so you have my sympathy. If he’s been poorly, id try him with a dose of Calpol about half an hour before his main meal today.

Have you read Help, my child won’t eat!? It might be cheaper on Abebooks Smile
