Is a fussy eater Toddler inevitably a forever fussy eater

[OnlyFoolsnMothers]

First child ate anything, and apart from a few items still eats most things.
My youngest, 19 months, only eats:
Pesto pasta, beans, cucumber, apples, bananas, cheerio’s, yogurt, cheese, carrots, peas, sweetcorn, rice
everything else - near on all protein- is thrown on the floor with disgust. Most nights I try something else on her plate, but have to have pasta on standby.
Is it inevitable she will always be fussy- or can it turn around?

That sounds like a fairly good range of foods, my DS wouldn't eat half of that! My other two DC eat anything, I don't know where my youngest gets his fussiness from. What has worked for us is identifying the textures that he doesn't like and trying to work with the textures he does. So he likes steak but not beef mince, so I try to leave some big chunks of beef mince when I'm cooking with it which I can pull out for him.

I know loads of people who were fussy as kids and now eat everything. Also I don’t think that list is particularly fussy! It’s a good range of foods. There are toddlers who will literally only eat 2 foods.

To some extent it'll depend on how you deal with it. Kids who are on fish fingers/nuggets and chips or pizza every night are going to struggle to break out of that later but what you've described isn't actually that bad!
