Food! 2 year old.

[Hannabanana2021]

Hi everyone. I have a 2 year old son and long story short he used to eat everything! I mean everything! And now for the last couple of weeks he will only eat pasta beans and cheese and sandwiches. Anything else I offer he grunts and refuses to eat. He will only eat one brand of cereal and it's not a good kind to be eating daily 😩 (Oreo cereal) he will eat yoghurts and cheese. But he's got so bad now he won't even eat his usual treats ( pizza, spaghetti bolognese, chicken nuggets)
Before his diet got fussy he would eat roast dinners with all the veg, sausages he won't touch now, he won't even eat chips.
I stuck fruit in a bowl for him and left it lying around thinking maybe he'll take what he thinks isn't his but he looked and grunted and drops to the floor. Any advise appreciated 😰
He will be starting nursery soon and I'm so worried about what I'll send him with in his lunchbox! 😮‍💨

Horrible when this happens isn't is?

Two questions that might help are how much milk is he having and what do you do when he refuses a meal?

He doesn't have milk unless it's a milkshake treat or in cereal. I know it's probably not the right thing to do but I just make him something he will eat because I can't bare the thought of him going without 😩

Apart from tonight. He had spaghetti bolognese and had about 2 mouthfuls and he hasn't had anything since.

At 2 I'd try giving him something he will eat, so maybe a small sandwich along with the thing you want him to eat. That way he'll have at least had the something he will eat.

We found that if we offered alternatives they never tried anything and if we only gave them what we knew they would eat, they just became even more fussy.
