DD is 16m. She's quite a fussy eater and prefers to throw most of it on the floor!! She doesn't like any cereal but loves eggs so often has some form of egg on toast for breakfast. I'm out of ideas for lunch.
She doesn't like sandwiches or wraps, but will eat cheese on toast occasionally.
Won't eat soup, likes jacket potato if she's in the mood.
Sometimes has cheese and crackers or stuff like egg, ham, cheese, bread sticks, veggie sticks, fruit but only has a small amount then doesn't want anymore.

She seems to live off air some days. Hardly any milk either! She's petite but growing well and very happy and active, so I'm not worried about her per say, just looking for ideas to try with her.

Just stuck for ideas. Thanks Smile

My son is going though a very picky phase (19months) we tend to have a little picnic type lunch. Eg

Wrap/ pitta / oat cakes
Small bits of cheese
Cucumber/carrot /corn
A yoghurt
Blueberries
Ham/chicken (never eats but I keep offering)
Savoury muffins

He's weirdly never much hungry in middle of day. Big breakfast and big dinner.

I think it's always good to think about what they eat over course of a day on average rather than get fixated on single meals.

Good luck!

Have a look on wean in 15 and what mummy makes on Instagram, loads of savoury muffins etc etc that you can batch and have in the freezer. That way if you have a fussy day you've got backups.

Picnic type lunches are my go to at the moment for DD as she seems to eat more of smaller things vs a whole sandwich for example.
