My DS has gone from being a very happy eater - would eat practically anything you put in front of him - to only eating bread, oatcakes, fruit and yogurt. He won't accept any savoury foods, apart from a small amount of cheese on toast. It's bizarre - even foods he loved a few weeks ago (eg macaroni cheese) now make him literally retch with disgust.
I've tried all sorts of tactics. Giving him only finger foods, covering savoury foods with fruit puree (v limited success). I even tried embedding peas in tangerine segments today, but he ate the tangerine and spat out the pea with a resounding 'bleeeuch'. I've tried placing a mix of fruit and savoury on his plate - he picks out the fruit and chucks everything else on the floor - to starting off with savoury, but then he eats nothing unless I give him some fruit or yogurt. He generally won't even try things he doesn't immediately recognize as being sweet. He tentatively touches them, but rarely puts them in his mouth.
What should I do? Just keep feeding him bread and fruit, thus reinforcing his limited eating habits, or play tough mum, and give him nothing if he won't eat what's put in front of him?
I'm trying my utmost not to react to him throwing food etc, but it's getting more and more difficult to stay calm...
