Toddler won't eat dinner. I'm so stressed

Hi,

I have a 2 year old and he is so terrible for eating dinner unless it's sausages 😭 I'm literally at my wits end I'm so stressed every single day at dinner time. He will eat breakfast and lunch fine but when it comes to dinners he just screams NO! And won't even try it and will just keep spitting it out. I don't know what to do or where to turn to. I've tried it all. I guess I'm looking for some reassurance that someone else has had a child like this and they outgrew it. Thanks.

Hey

I went through a stage of pure stress with dinner time. Breakfast & lunch fine but dinner nightmare. After months of getting upset and stressing I’ve learnt that what will be will be sometimes my child eats sometimes they don’t some weeks it’s just garlic bread and chips other weeks it’s no dinner. Don’t stress there’s so many other things to worry about.

is your child happy ? Healthy? That’s all that matters toddlers and children are always up and down with eating don’t compare what will be will be x

DC of this age are wonderful at regulating their calorie intake.

I'd offer slightly more for breakfast and lunch and wouldn't worry if he doesn't eat dinner.

Thanks so much guys. Appreciate it. It's nice to know there are other moms going through this. I have friends with kids the same age but they all tell me they're great to eat, so lovely to know we're not the only ones 😊
