running out of finger food ideas for a fussy toddler

[Adnil11]

Hi I know this is an age old problem but I'm really starting to lose the plot!

My 22 month old son used to be a great eater and in fact he still is at the childminders, he lets them feed him and even eats chicken korma!!

at our house he wont let me or his dad feed him, depending on how he feels he may feed himself the odd spoonful but much prefers to run around, tip his food out and mess with ours.

He loves to snack on grapes, blueberries, cheese and raisins which are all good for him but that's ALL he will now eat, we wont even entertain sandwiches or pizza.

I'm trying him at lunch with potato omelette but I'm running out of food ideas and tips to get him to eat at mealtimes at the table.

worth looking for this in the lib

Have you tried something like eggy bread fingers? It's very easy - beat an egg, add a couple of tsps of milk, then cut the crusts off a slice of bread, soak both sides of the bread in the eggy mixture, and dry fry (or you can add a little butter to the pan) until golden. Cut it into finger strips. I serve this with a few stalks of steamed brocolli and cauliflower, and a little ketchup for dipping

my little one hates anything that she has to used utensils for, so this always goes down a treat.
