We set a rule about trying something new every week or 4 over the years and this way we broadened her menu a little. Now everyone just accepts that this is the way she is and she is now a very healthy young lady working in childcare and studying for a qualification in this area. We are very proud of her, but it didn't make those childhood meal times any easier and even now, social events are not often centred around going out for a meal. All I can say is persevere, but relax. She describes being encouraged to eat one of her no-go foods as like being on the tv show where they have to eat bugs! She still has a limited diet but has turned out just fine thank you.

The youngest loves fruit and veg and will always try new food, while the other one would eat chicken nuggets for dinner every day if she had the choice! And yet, she likes marmite......Grant Rhttp://www.lookingforthepostman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939960062000410955.post-52962679252400962712018-01-17T00:29:51.819+00:002018-01-17T00:29:51.819+00:00I can't tell you how helpful this post is! My ...I can't tell you how helpful this post is! My toddler will eat literally anything, he's never refused food in his entire life - my 5-year old is another story! He is picky but in a very odd way; he won't touch things like pasta or pizza, but lives off fruit, veggies, and grilled chicken or fish. He hates sugar and sweets, and won't have anything to do with sauces of any kind. This means his diet is actually quite healthy, if rather boring, but it makes eating out really difficult. We've had so many meals out where I've either begged and bribed him to eat, or gotten angry or upset until he finally caved and ate a bite or two - it makes meal times miserable! I'm going to try your suggestions and see if things can be improved!Katehttps://havediaperswilltravel.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939960062000410955.post-54689239628895743302018-01-16T21:56:05.238+00:002018-01-16T21:56:05.238+00:00Great tips, mine have been really good with food a...Great tips, mine have been really good with food and I think it's been because we ate together and was relaxed about food Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09296868570612247268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939960062000410955.post-77254726926033288112018-01-16T18:23:35.852+00:002018-01-16T18:23:35.852+00:00These are great tips.

We don't mind if she doesn't finish her dinner, but if she doesn't want to eat it and still says she's hungry, we always offer her one other healthy option. If she still says no, then she just has to go hungry. Not the greatest way to deal with it, but it works for us. xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10274776769717382150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939960062000410955.post-83187267533233357222018-01-16T12:05:39.251+00:002018-01-16T12:05:39.251+00:00As a baby Isaac ate anything put in front home but...As a baby Isaac ate anything put in front home but he got fussier and fussier.

She lived on Cheese, bread, Pasta, chicken and sweetcorn for ages as they were her 'safe foods'. We found out that her iron was low and over the past year she had amazed us with her eating, she even eats school lunches now. She still has some problems and refuses to eat anything red or most kinds of food in sauce, although she recently discovered she likes curry.
