Ok, i've not posted on here in a long time but this has been bothering me and don't know who else to ask!
DD is 7 1/2 and generally a pretty good eater - eats a good variety of foods including fish, meat, fruit, veg etc and sits nicely with us at family meals usually eating the same as the grown ups and (most of the time) using cutlery properly etc.
Lately, however, breakfast has become a bit of an issue. She frequently says she's not hungry in the mornings and has become more and more fussy about what she will eat. She used to select from a variety of fromage frais, cereals, juices, toast, toasted fruit bread etc. Now, virtually the only thing she will take in the mornings is a fromage frias. I usually buy the squeezy kind in a tube because she likes them best but now it means she just takes one out of the fridge, stands in the kitchen for about the 20 seconds it takes to eat/drink it, puts it in the bin and says she's done with 'breakfast'.
I feel like this is a really bad habit to get into and tried buying only the kind you eat with a spoon so she at least has to sit down at the table for a few minutes but she says she doesn't like those!
I don't know whether I?m making too much of a big deal of this and should just let her have what she wants. I also don't know whether to keep trying to find other things for her to have in the morning - sometimes she will take an innocent smoothie. I even bought a carton of strawberry milk thinking that might be better than nothing and probably not any worse (in terms of sugar content) than the squeezy yoghurts.
I hate the idea of her going to school with absolutely nothing, especially as her mood definitely seems to go way down when she hasn't eaten!
Any insight or advice would be helpful
