DD was never particularly fussy as a baby or toddler, unlike her older sibling. However she is becoming increasingly fussy with regard to food and it is worrying me.
The list of food she won't eat keeps growing (e.g. we now have broccoli at almost every meal because she says it's the only vegetable she likes. However the last few times it has been a challenge to get her to eat all the broccoli because she says she no longer likes the stalks. I'm worried this will progress to not liking it at all).
She also fights us over using a fork to eat with (I've given up on the matching knife for now!). I'm only mentioning this because I think it's odd that she doesn't want to use a fork - is it just laziness?
In all other respects there are no issues at all. She is polite, well behaved, academically and socially she is doing well. She does a lot of sports and is good at them.
She does not have access to social media at all (making me the worst mother in the world as everyone else in her class is allowed it) so there is no chance of that kind of influence.
She is very skinny but always has been really. As a baby she was consistently 9th centile. I (unknown by her) checked her height/weight on the NHS website and she is now 2nd centile.
My other child was so different - very very fussy as a baby but by 9 most food dislikes had gone away, so I don't know where to start with this one!
