My previously super eater ds has turned fussy. He has never been much of a meat eater (will eat spag bol, cottage/shepherds pie but not meat in it's proper form). I leave him to feed himself (which helps a little) but he would rather eat cheese dippers and blueberries (often together) than the meals I prepare.
I don't despair or push him, and am very relaxed with him when he doesn't eat what I put in front of him but need some tips on what else I can try.
I'll give him his main course, and leave him to play with it, trying him occasionally with a spoon and if he refuses after a while (say 10 or 15 mins) will give him fruit and yoghurt or cheese. He used to eat everything I put in front of him but now he's being a pain in the bum! Can someone give me some tips please.

Thank you. I have some in the fridge because (when he does eat) he quite likes it mashed. Again, he's eaten his breakfast and had a fruit smoothie like he'd never been fed before so I'll leave out this morning's snack and try him with a decent lunch.....
