Need serious advice on my child’s eating habits!

[LauraJade0308]

I have a DD who’s nearly 4. All she eats is popcorn chicken and pizza. Literally nothing else. Will not touch a piece of fruit or veg. Won’t eat any staple foods such as pasta, bread etc. We have been to see nutritionalists, dieticians, doctors, and all have said she will grow out of it... but when?! It’s so frustrating! We have tried everything! Tasting games, she refused, we offer our food every dinner time, she refuses, she won’t even try stuff the other kids at nursery eat. I don’t know what to do! Is anyone else in the same boat? She starts school in September and I am desperate.

To be fair there is no “of course she has snacks” many children with truely restrictive diets wouldn’t dream of snacking!

I wouldn't stress about it, and definitely don't force food into her mouth. She is healthy and a good weight - try not to worry. My nephew spent his entire childhood eating nothing but pork sausages and Marmite sandwiches. He never ate anything else for years. When he became a teenager and got a girlfriend, he suddenly started eating what she ate. His mother just about died of relief. Sometimes you have to be patient.
