Hello all,
I am looking for help with my 16 month old. He has never been a good eater, he was difficult to wean and will only eat a limited number of foods now. I did everything the same as my first but he just won't entertain even trying things.
I offer him food and he won't even try some of them to determine he doesn't like them or will just throw them on the floor straight away. I know toddlers go through fussy stages but I have never had the stage where he eats or tries what is put in front of him. Meal times are so difficult because he just won't eat but he is genuinely hungry and will cry with hunger but even that doesn't make him better at eating (this is with a variety of foods).
He won't touch any veg and is very very limited with fruit. I have altered eating schedules and cut down on snacks to make sure he is hungry but not too hungry but with no success.
I guess what I'm hoping for are similar stories with tips or help that will inspire me to keep going or try new things. I'm feeling pretty desperate. My love language is making sure my family are well looked after and well fed and I get so affected by his fussiness with so many foods.
Thank you
