Is it just me thats going absolutely mental because of my fussy eating little girl? ... shes soo fussy and refuses so many foods and its starting to drive me insane 😳... I mean she has times where she will be a bit better at eating but most of the time each meal time is a battle... the problem I have is that when I asked some people before they use to say " don't worry if shes hungry she'll eat .. don't force her" .. and I listened.. one time I just stayed chilled and didnt force her .. she hardly ate for 2 days and we ended up in A&E with a Ketotic Hypo because of poor eating her sugar dropped a lot ( shes NOT diabetic)I will definitely not listen to that advice again ... The thing is at childminders she eat anything and everything but at Home she will make a massive drama and cry and hide her face .. .. pretty much at every meal I have to say .." eat your food and then we will do this and this .. or Ill give you this and that" which is bad yes but thats the only way of making her have few bites ... the only thing shes usually ok with is porridge and cereal... the rest is a massive stress for me and her .. upsets me when I see her cry at every meal..trying everything and anything to make her eat but when that fails ..then I end up crying because Im worried about her when shes not eating .. its so frustrating because she was soo good with food when she was 1 .. and now its a fight every single day ... I tried a lot of options I even tried serving her food exactly how childminder do but nope .. she will eat sandwiches there .. at home will not touch it ... beans on toast .. roast dinner vegetables..eats all of that there with no issues or moaning...( she will only have peas at home) .. I just feel soo helpless and have noo idea what to do anymore 😕
