Hi all,
My 2.5 year old DS has been a very fussy eater for the last six months or more - he's fine with breakfast cereal, but other than that will only eat Toast (not bread), Sweet potato fries (not mashed), fruit and yoghurt.
I've tried not to make a big deal of it and keep serving him meals I want him to eat, making sure there is something he likes on the plate as well - for example, I give him a bit of toast on the side of his lasagne - and he always has his fruit and yoghurt after his main meal.
The problem is that he will only eat the bit he likes on the meal, even if it's 1 slice of toast, then he's have his small portion of fruit and yoghurt for afters and thats it. He's happy with that. Not even tempted by hunger to try the rest of the meal.
So my question is, do I just keep on as I am and hope that one day he will try something else other than his toast even though he's shown no sign of wanting to in six months? Or do I stop putting the stuff he likes on the plate to kind of force him to eat the other stuff? Urg feel horrible just typing that. I'm just so worried that he's missing out on vital stuff he needs
. I've discussed with the HV and she advised to put him on a multi vitamin (which I have) and to just keep serving him healthy meals and as long as he's healthy and happy to just leave him to it (he is).
I just wish he'd even eat pasta or sandwiches or just anything I could sneak veg and meat in to haha!
I'm about to wean my 5 month old DD, and would love to serve them up the same nutritious meals but it's just not going to happen is it 
Sorry for the ramble x
