Hi Bucketsofdinosaurs. Without wishing to make light of all the efforts I'm sure you've made so far with the fussy eater, is there an allergy problem or is it that she is unwilling to try new foods? Ds was a right pain for me until he had teeth he could chew with. Luckily dd was 15 months behind him and was willing to try new things and he got over his gagging thing with watching her eat in the highchair next to his and his teeth coming through and now they are both excellent eaters. Pasta is, I think, too easy to eat and some kids get lazy and don't want to put any effort into eating, they just want it to slide down their throat after a quick small light chew. They haven't wanted to try new foods as nothing is as easy to eat as pasta and the problem grows. I know it's hard. How old is dd? I would say, though, that if she is unwilling or unable to eat anything but cheese and pasta, you cook for the others as if you were doing for one and all. Perhaps you do this already as otherwise that child is spoiling it for others and it's not fair on them, and if she can see the others enjoying various different foods, she might be inclined to try it esp as I'd have thought pasta and cheese would get pretty tiresome day in day out, even if it was self inflicted. I hope this doesn't sound at all harsh as I don't mean to be. One of my nephews is the same and it is a nightmare to feed him a proper meal. Funnily enough, he'll try things for me whereas he won't for his own parents. I put it on his plate and ask him to taste it (I didn't know it was possible to take such miniscule bites, I can tell you) and praise him if he tastes it, even if he doesn't actually eat more than the tiny taste. It's sad to see a child eating pasta several times a day, even for breakfast, but I don't want to make his parents feel worse by saying too much. Anyway, I'll stop now and let you answer the allergy question as that is probably the most important thing.
