Currently engaged in a food skirmish with 21mo DD, who's not that keen on veg (except antipasti-style, cold veg) nor meat (except ham, pepperoni and salami and the odd prawn).
I'm following the whole putting it in her front of her, letting her eat what she wants and then removing, without comment, anything that doesn't get eaten. I'm doing the hot meal at lunch time so at least she can have a good tea of sandwiches or whatever before bed.
I'm keen to get her eating what we do more and more as I'm pregnant with DC2 and want to cook for the whole family rather than having to pick and choose what I give her and giving her the same old stuff.
OK, so my one question is: would you offer pudding after a picky lunch? She wouldn't get offered anything special, just a yoghurt or a piece of fruit. I usually give her some fruit when she wakes up after her lunchtime nap anyway but not sure whether it's super tough to deny pudding or a good way of just getting her to understand consequences.
Actually, if you have anything helpful to add or suggest then that doesn't count as another question. Thank you!
