How do you handle fussy eaters?

As if on cue, DD has turned 18 months and become FUSSY.

Normally, she eats anything and everything. The past few days she's been a right fusspot. Wanting to only eat tomatoes and olives, but leaving really bland food like bread and potatoes, saying "nah" then firmly shutting mouth.

My general rule is to not give her an alternative if she doesn't want what I've given her (very easy to say when she was so easy to please), but now I'm worried she won't be getting enough calories.

Any thoughts?

Hi Laugs.
My ds is 21 mths and is the same. I was worried about calories at first, but now don't bother as he goes through a day or 2 of eating, then doesn't bother! I reckon they'll eat when they're hungry. So long as your not being woken in the night because of hunger...
