BLW did not work for us.. Anyone else?

[Mammanat222]

J is now almost 18 months and is on 3 meals a day plus snacks.

We successfully (or so I thought) did BLW.

How comes my child is super fussy and refuses to eat almost everything I offer?

He doesn't eat much fruit, hates salad and only eats veg if I hide it in his food.

He doesn't like my cooking much either - prefers M&S kiddies meals (which I have used in desperation!!)

All he will have willingly are carbs - cereal, toast, sandwiches - without salad, breakfast muffins, crumpets etc.

I have this morning peeled him a pear [refused], halved him some grapes [thrown on the foor], opened a banana [sneered at]. I am tempted not to offer anything else until he eats that.

We did BLW properly - barring the fact he preferred yoghurt to be spoon fed to him.

He is being super fussy at the moment, normally I can get the aforementioned fruit into him as he tolerates them.

BLW is meant to make for a non fussy child right? WTF is going on??

And no mine won't eat non sweet yoghurt. Only the sweet kiddies one

Just adding to the chorus of voices saying that you've done nothing wrong.

They will most likely come out of the other side eating at least something approximating a balanced diet.

DS used to only eat bolognaise or breaded items.

Aged five he now eats a variety of meals happily. more happily if I've not cooked it but someone else has

That said, it doesn't mean I don't get a bit stressed by DD who specialises in a diet of cereal/pizza/fishfingers/roast potatoes or chips, when she used to love broccoli, rice, chicken, salmon etc.

I just keep offering her extra other foods alongside in the hope that she will at least recognise from a distance the wide variety of food she will not eat.

Yep! :) Mine too. It worked in that he started eating food. But we didn't get the magic promise of non fussiness.

He is 5 now and eats more but still rage inducing "Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh I don't liiiiiiike pasta, ugh "

He claims not to like pasta, potatoes, bread or rice. So, you know. That's nice. Left up to him he would eat cucumber, peppers, sweetcorn, salami, ham, and crisps. For every meal.
