DD keen to help with cooking. Last Christmas we made poncy Nigella pancakes for breakfast. She loved helping make them - but wouldn't attempt to try them.

[tortoiseSHELL]

law - I really will try and dig out some old threads - ds1 was FAR worse as a toddler than he is now, although still bad now. He is also very very skinny, and as a toddler was positively skeletal, so they do improve.

For my "eat anything" DS, i feel it was all down to understanding the moral of Green Eggs and Ham. Although he would more or less try anything, if every he was being fussy we only had to discuss the book and he'd try it.

DD not shown any interest in Dr Seuss.

I'm barfing here remembering dd's beige phase. She lived on Heinz tinned Macaroni cheese for months. I couldn't open the tin because it made me bleurgh.

ROFL at the under the table story

I used to get so worked up about ds. Now I take a more relaxed attitude.

[codswallop]

i yearn for tuna

[saggarmakersbottomknocker]

Take heart cod - it's tinned only!

[codswallop]

oh fark orf wiht ya tuna!!!

This thread has really put my DT's eating in perspective, I get very wound up leading up to a weekend when i know i got to cook for them (they at nursrey full time and eat perfectly there).

I thought they were horrendous eaters but it appears not, they try most things but its the volume of what they eat that worries me....scared silly i was starving them, but i think i'll just take a deep breath and let them get on with it - they are 2.8 btw.....

have any of you with the fussy's tried eggy bread? mine love it.....

[law3]

The thread was a CHEERING story for fussy eaters, im sounding more like a nightmare

Thought i might find some inspiration, so id better stop moaning

my brother lived on mince and mashed potato. He is now veggie!

[codswallop]

yes my brother too.
odd eh?

[specialmagiclady]

My younger brother ate only sausages and weetabix as a child. He's 6'3", very fit and sporty, built like a brick s*house and is now VERY into food. Likes cooking, tries anything. But it really took until his twenties before he got adventurous!

[codswallop]
