My dh and I are currently coming to blows over the best way to deal with our determined 12 month dd who has suddenly decided that all she will eat is Toast & Humous, fruit & petite filous.
I worry that her diet is very unbalanced and spend a lot of time cooking various dishes in an attempt to find something she will eat. Invariably the instant she is offered one of these dishes she turns her head away and begins shrieking so we end up going back to toast & humous.
dh believes that if she refuses her meal then mealtime should finish there and then and eventually she will learn to eat what she is offered because she will be hungry. Whilst I partially agree with this, my instincts fight against this and I worry she will end up malnutitrioned.
Has anyone got any advice for me before I lose it ?
