My child eats NOTHING

Ok, so not nothing. Lots of boob. SO MUCH BOOB. But he's 19 months and this is what he ate today:

1 Ella pouch (carrots, apples, parsnips)
2 fingers of brown toast with peanut butter
1 sippy cup of milk
Greek yogurt

He refused:

Pasta with pesto (also refused this yesterday)
Blueberries
Raspberries
Baked potato with butter
Baked beans

All of the above (bar the beans) he will usually deign to eat perhaps 3 spoonfuls of. If he can identify a vegetable, it's going on the floor. Meat is only occasionally acceptable.

At this point I honestly don't know how he survives. This food refusal has been going on for nearly the whole time he's been weaned. Please, at this point I'll take any advice going. How can I encourage him to eat?!

I have a bad eater as well. She is 3 now and a lot better. It's not that she doesn't like foods as such she just isn't that interested and get a bored by eating. She is also a very slow eater which doesn't help as hard work getting her to eat a meal as have to encourage each mouthful sometimes and stop her wanting to walk off. But she has always been a good weight so hv was never worried it's just annoying. Just keep at it and it should get better.
