Almost 2 year old and terrible eating habits

[tobebebebe]

My DS is 21 months old, he has always been quite difficult at meal times - has always thrown and refused food (Its been a huge source of stress for me) but anyway recently we have made great progress and he rarely throws anything and tends to at least try most things.

A new thing he has started doing is demanding either "toast" or "goggurt" and he will refuse to eat anything else we present him with, he will push it away and cry.

I'm not sure how to handle it, do I give in to him and let him gorge himself on toast and yoghurts (feels wrong) or do I refuse and let him go hungry?

Any advice v much appreciated!

Tricky isn't ir food is the only control little children have over their lives I would give him a square of toast with his meals and see how it goes I know it will look like pandering but there isno way you can reason with an under 2.

So funny as my 22 month old has started this. Yoghurt and cheese he would live off. He picks the filling out of sandwiches and is more re interested in chucking food. I'm not too worried because he does eat watermelon grapes and mash. As soon as his veg go cold he won't eat them though too. I think it's quite a normal stage tbh x

I'd have toast on the side of any meal you make, and yoghurt as pudding. once he's finished his toast no more, only what else is for dinner until you've eaten your main. once you've all finished your main bring out the yoghurt, not dependant on how much else he's eaten and only a standard small pot not extra if he's hungry.

Well don’t give toast and yogurt as a replacement meal. As others said a small square of toast on the plate with the rest of the food, and only give the yogurt for pudding if he tried something else on the plate.
