My 22 month-old has never been a huge eater, but I can just about get her to eat a vaguely balanced diet these days. What frustrates me is that the list of meals she will eat is tiny. Eggs, toast, pasta bolognese, fish fingers, chicken, bacon, most fruit, toasted cheese/ham sandwiches - that's about it, and she won't even try anything else (particularly veg!). I know it's common for toddlers to be picky, and I try to just keep offering her different things without making a fuss. But as she's quite small, it's tempting to just keep serving her favourite meals so at least I know she'll eat. I've tried putting new foods on the side of things I know she likes, but she just ignores it. And I only have about a five-minute window for a meal before she gets bored and asks to get down!
Does anyone have any ideas on ways to slowly introduce a wider variety while making sure she still gets some food inside her?!
