DS 2:6 has been a very fussy eater since around age 1 after tube feeding/illness etc etc. Up until the last few weeks we have gone with the flow (for an easy life if I am honest) and feed him what we know he will eat. Nutritionally the dietition we see has been pleased although wanted him to say on 1 year plus milk to ensure his iron levels stay high and he keeps an appetite.
But I have had enough and have gone cold turkey. We all eat together, the same thing, offered, dinner then pudding, eat it or leave it, but thats all is on offer. Pudding is either yoghurt, homemade fruit crumble, fruit and ice cream or homemade fruit lollies.
Its now been 3 weeks and he has tried a few new things....well licked them but most tea times its "no, I don't like it, crumble custard now, CRUMBLE CUSTARD NOW!!!!!!!!" crying crying etc etc etc.
I make him wait until we have finished but he is crying getting cross etc.
Trouble is he looks pale, is eating less cerial/toast for breakfast but does has a good go at lunch around 12. He then sleeps all afternoon, most days 12-3:45! He then flops around all afternoon and is moody before tea. He is in bed by 7pm sleeping right through. He isn't finishing his evening milk either now.
What do I do!? Please help! We are seeing a speech and language worker at my request (speech is fine, but they also help with this sort of thing I have been told)and he has been loads better at nursery so think its a home behaviour.....worried though.
