MY CHILD IS THE WORST EATER! Competition!

[morningpaper]

Roll up, roll up.

Who's child has eaten the worst today?

My three year old has eaten the same today as yesterday:

• 2 bowls of cornflakes without milk
• 1 piece of toast
• 1 sesame snap
• mouthful of chicken
• glass of grape juice

Only water to drink. And this is when she is perfectly HEALTHY! (Although I've noticed that she's fallen off the bottom of the height charts again, ah well, at least she will never have to worry about towering over her boyfriends.)

Can't beat that

A bowl of cheerios (like your without milk)
1 ham sandwitch
1 bottle of actimel
1 yoghurt
1 banana
1 tube of smarties

refused dinner

Im a bit jealous about the inclusion of fruit there waterfalls

bowl of shreddies (with milk lucikly)
1 chip
1 chicken goujon
1 actimel
1 rice cake
1 dry cracker
apple juice
half a marmite bagel

My dd (21mo) has eaten:

small handful of Special K
Half a baby avocado
1/4 bread roll
1/2 apple
tablespoon of sweetcorn

But she did stuff herself silly yesterday (carbs and fruit only though, is on protein strike at the moment) and the day before. She is also titchy, I've stopped looking at the weight charts ...

DD Ahe 3.5:

half a scotch pancake
1 piece mortadella
1 chocolate
a smll pack choc buttons
5 olives
2 small marmite rice cakes
half an apple

I give up !

1 spoon full of cornflakes
1 packet of choc buttons
1/2 cheese roll
1 smilie face
1 mouth full of baked beens
1 mouthful of chicken
1 peice of swiss roll

dd is 23 months, a fussy eater and tends to chew things up then spit it out. Today was a good day!

now despite what it looked like from my description of her food today, my dd isnt a fussy eater and will eat almost everything put in front of her, when she wants to, and she generally stuffs for about a week then doesnt eat properly for two,and as i start to worry she starts stuffing again, i give up, anyone else have this???

No! I never have the good weeks! It's all crap!

I notice a definitely chocolate button theme on this thread ...

my ds is 2.3
today he has eaten
half a piece of toast
a slice of ham
2 maltesers
a mouthful of spag bol
a small pot of yoghurt
a cup of milk first thing
a cup of milk before bed.
water throughout the day.

He will only drink water or milk.

dd takes after her dad, he wont eat for a week and then stuffs, she does the same, just learnt to put up with it!

my dd will try everything we offer her and she seems to like everything we offer her but she usually eats:
1 baby spoon of breakfast
4 baby spoons of lunch
2 baby spoons of yoghurt
1/4 bag of quavers
4 baby spoons tea
2 baby spoons pureed fruit
1 rice cake
she's 20 months old and because of her eating habbits and also she has a lot of problems with her heart she now has a peg in. the list is her on a very good day, somedays she won't eat a thing all day it's just hard to remember that it is linked into her heart problems, i wish that she would eat properly. since having the peg put in she's gained loads of weight and now weighs 19lb8oz

No, no, no! I have the worst eater!

DS2 (aged 3)yesterday ate:

half a bowl of rice crispies (no milk)

one piece of toast (miniscule amount of spread cos if he can see it he won't eat it)

one beaker of warm (never cold) milk

2 fishfingers (will eat these!!)

half a waffle

beaker of apple juice

small handful of smarties (though he was only supposed to have these whilst having a haircut and didn't have a haircut

one piece of cheese

one slice of bread

beaker of orange juice (only way to get fruit of any description into him and a good way to add his fish oil liquid without him knowing)

a beaker of warm milk

And that was a day!

This has been going on for over a year now, but HV's keep saying that it is a phase and he will grow out of it. I don't get cross or upset or push him to eat as he then eats even less.

I like threads like this, it really makes me realise I am not the only one!

DS3 (aged 1) on the other hand had 1 and a half weetabix with mushed banana, half a bowl of rice crispies (his brothers leftovers - lol), beef stew, french bread, yoghurt, a breadstick, cheesy tomatoey pasta, half an orange, rice pudding He eats wonderfully!!

Oh choccy buttons...a small bag has quite a lot of iron in so actually a good thing to give a fussy child. I know my ds doesn't have enough iron (he doesn't get chocolate buttons every day though )

DS1 yesterday.
1 packet of mini chedders
1 packet plain hula hoops
1 custard cream biscuit
That's it.

I have only read about 7 posts, but you are all making me feel sooo much better. I have been having food battles with DD for a couple of months now, but looking at this, she is positively stuffed!!! I guess I was just used to my glutton baby, who turned into a less gluttonly todder...

Not that that makes any of you feel any better though

well I will keep a note today but my dd1 will WIN I tell you...
what we all ought to learn from this is....
THIS FOOD INTAKE IS NORMAL
so we should all stop stressing
calebsmummy that is seriously abou as much as my dd1 eats over the course of about three days
she's full of energy though

Can I sneak in with I have two vegetarians who don't eat veg!!!!! Nightmare!
