Fussy Eater

[smithy100]

Hi

I feel so bad - I've got 2 little boys. 4yrs and 2yrs. Older one eats everything and younger one has just become sooo fussy. He used to be great - he would have anything you put in front of him. Now he wont eat pasta, fish pie, spag bol, fruit.
When I write this it doesn't sound that bad - but just worried that it will get worse. Has anyone got any good ideas of how to re-introduce food that once were ok to eat?

Thanks

My second one has done exactly the same but is now growing out of it. I remember one of my friend's sons around the same age only eating white food (no joke). He's fine now, and so will yours be. Just keep offering a variety of food (don't pander totally to his whims) and keep things varied and don't make a big issue out of it - or I think food will then become a stressful issue for both of you. Food charts where you reward 5 a day fruit and veg can also work wonders, but again, concentrate on the positive and don't let dinner time become a battle ground. If you seem relaxed, he will be and one of these days he'll start eating things more normally again. You are doing nothing wrong.

Thanks for your message it did make me feel better.
