2.5 year old eating

[bc1234]

Hi,

Not sure if this is the correct place to post, I've posted about this before.m but I'm now loosing my mind with this

My 2.5 year old just wont eat her meals for us, her standard day is at nursery, she eats oats/weetabix etc before she goes, toast when she arrives, lunch at 11:30/12, snack at 2, tea at 3 and then is usually snacking on breadsticks/crackers of some sort when I collect her

When she gets home she won't eat any tea, she'll have a bottle before her bath and may snack on crisps or yoghurt etc

I'm really concerned whilst she's off nursery I'm struggling to get any decent meals into her, she'll eat her breakfast no issues at all, we just struggle so much with lunch and tea time, even though we know she likes it because she's had it before, she won't sit still and eat, she'll refuse it but then be hungry so will want milk or cereal etc, I don't want to let her go hungry, but she's not eating

Any suggestions or your tips and routines would be amazing?!

Thank you xx

Forgot to add she's getting really quite constipated as well so I've had to give her lactulose a couple of times to help her as she says her tummy and bottom are sore

Thank you x

I would just give her some cereal if that's what she wants, something plain with some fruit in it might help her have a poo.

She seems to be eating a lot at nursery, so she's likely to be not that hungry and really tired.

Mine are nothing at that age. I don’t how she lived. Now, age 5, she eats about 6 meals a day and I can’t stop her. I think. Lot of them go through it at that age.
