my dd can eat, but if she is ambivalent about a food she will refuse it. we can force her to eat it, but that doesn't seem like a very good way to encourage a healthy attitude to food.
she loves weetabix and avocado+banana, will usually eat broccoli cheese (but not cauliflour cheese, oh no) and a spinach/mashed potato/cheese concoction. she has also been known to eat annabel karmel's lovely lentils, but she has also flatly refused them. i also mush up our food sometimes, rarely with any success.
she wants to feed herself, but if she does she still eats very little. i have two questions:
do you have a guaranteed winner of a recipe?
and is it acceptable for her to regularly not eat very much? she still drinks plently of breastmilk (too much?), but there has to come a time when this isn't enough for her.
i am worried because she doesn't weigh very much, but perhaps she is naturally slight, as i am. she is active and alert and if i weren't her mother i wouldn't think there was anything wrong with her. am i being neurotic? what would you do?!?
