Hi all,
I need some new food ideas to try with my 2.5 year old . He eats all carbs as long as they are dry/plain/buttered - no sauces- he only eats the crust of pizzas! He eats fruit and raw carrots. But the only proteins he will eat are sausages, fish fingers or chicken goujons. He drinks milk and eats yogurts. Any ideas? And please, I'm not looking for advice on how to deal with his fussy eating; my four year old was just the same and is now through that phase. I tend to not make a big deal about it but provide a range of foods, let him eat the elements of a meal he likes, and take away the remaining without fuss. And yes, I do give fruit or breadsticks as snacks as he is unbearable when hungry and is very stubborn to the point of starving himself rather than 'giving in' in a conflict situation. I'd rather just play it down and keep offering the good stuff as i don't want food to be 'an issue'. So any ideas, esp for proteins?
