4 replies

PetitFilou1 · 11/09/2006 16:07

Please give me some new ideas - he will eat pizza, ham, broccoli, sweetcorn, peas, sausages, toast, cereal, salmon, potatoes, roast chicken, whites of hard boiled eggs, pasta, meatballs, yoghurt,icecream, fish fingers, some fish cakes, bacon, cheese, apples (sometimes), rice cakes, chocolate, juice, drinking yoghurt, bread (sometimes). Won't eat anything with 'bits' eg if pasta sauce has any herbs in those are 'bits'. It isn't a bad list but I'm BORED and dd will eat anything - it is so frustrating having to restrict her diet because he won't bl**dy eat it. Please give me some ideas!

tell him sporticus eats it - works a treat on my 2.10 yr old

i'm still thinking of some ideas for you, my dc's faves are a a bit boring as well - spag bol, roast sunday lunch, cheese s/w etc

I know exactley how you feel - DD eats everything you give her and is an absolute delight whereas DS eats:

Cucumber
Bread
Butter
Feta, Chedder & Cream Cheese
Tomaotes (cherry ones occasionally)
Sausages
Chips
Smiley Faces
Fish Fingers (occasionally)
Raisins
Bananas
Natural Yogurt
Cheerios
Rice Crispies
Apples
Satsumas

Mind you a huge proportion of what goes in comes out half chewed.

He will also chew french beans and peppers but will not swallow tham!!!

What about some stir frys with noodles. You can combine the things he likes with them too. Also currys.

Raggydoll Have tried telling him same with Fireman Sam/firemen generally/Bob the Builder - just looks at me like I'm weird! Funny really as he is very into his imaginary play ......

I have tried the if you try a bit of this you can have a square of chocolate. Tried with a speck of strawberry yesterday. He wanted the chocolate so badly but refused to eat the strawberry. Cue full on tantrum that went on for half an hour. He is SO stubborn - he didn't eat the strawberry and didn't get the chocolate! I really wished I hadn't bothered.
