Lots of cheese, but he's not consumed that much dairy lately so I wanted to get some in him.

We do with milk for breakfast, dry for snacks.

We do milk with porridge or musli that DS has for breakfast and he eats cheerios dry for snacks.
I think DS has an upset tummy after his 12mo imms so he was off his food yesterday.
B: 1/2 usual bowl musli
S: refused satsuma
L: refused all but 2 mouthfuls each of pizza and scrambled egg
S: rainins and cheerios

Had 5x BF though, one of which was in a room with his 18mo cousin running round playing which would never happen when he was well.

Bram's eating is causing me a lot of stress at the moment. I think we are having a battle of wills and stuff he always eats is being refused! Hmmm

S - water, oatcake
L - 2 spoons of beef stew, veg and rice, bowl of birthday cake and custard (surprise surprise!) water
S - water, some choc buttons
Tea - 1 and a half slices of toasted fruit loaf, fromage frais, water

[Whatbit]

No fun, Nelliestar

L: chicken, potatoes, vanilla pudding, greek salad
D: pasta zucchini fritatta, cheese, cherries, 1/2 butter cookie

[Mom to M&M]

I'm right there with you Nelliestar. It's really upsetting me/stressing me out - I hate that he's refusing so many foods that he used to eat and love (blueberries, veggie lasagna, broccoli pancakes and more) and having meltdowns over food and going backwards in terms of not using a fork or allowing me to feed him with a fork but not liking certain textures on his hands. Sigh.

Teething doesn't help. Molar #3 made it's appearance this morning.

My one savior lately has been chicken noodle soup. I make my own heavy on egg noodles and carrots. He LOVES it and i can sneak in extra chicken or other veggies as needed too.

Today was:

B: (best meal of the day) couple strawberries, half a banana, two tiny silver dollar pancakes
L: Nothing. Refused yogurt, broccoli pancake and blueberries
S: yogurt, goldfish crackers
D: most of a small piece of raisin toast with butter. refused veggie lasagna, broccoli pancake and blueberries

Le sigh.

*hugs* ladies...it's so hard when they don't eat and you know they want to...but just won't.  Having been through a rough patch of that the last couple of weeks with Aaron being sick and with him being a moderately-picky eater, I've just come to the conclusion that I'll offer stuff.  If he doesn't eat it, so be it.  We'll try again.  That's the plan for now, anyways, when he prefers only dairy, carbs, and fruit.  It's helped alleviate my stress and guilt over it all for the past few days.

So, today was okay:

B: cinnamon toast (Great Harvest Bread Co. bread...if yall know what that is!), Life cereal
L: grilled cheese and a bite of mandarin orange
S: banana
S2 (late dinner): some dried cranberries
D: chicken nuggets, yogurt, and a couple bites of my carrot cake

[nelliestar]

Thanks for the support - we're all in this together aren't we?
Christmas day was horrible food and mood wise - barely ate a thing and  upset - OS I think.
His birthday was 3 days before with all that hoopla so the last 2 days have been VERY low key...
Today was good - happy Mummy...

B - lots of grapes, large fromage frais, half a bagel and PB, water
S - some Xmas fudge, cup of milk
L - turkey meatball, rice, spoon of veg and chickpea stew, Malt loaf, water
S - grapes,twiglets (wholegrain marmite flavoured snack) water
Tea - toast and fruit spread, fruit bar, water
Supper - cheerios and milk,water

Yay!!!

Hope things are going better for the other stressed out mum's of sporadic eaters xxxxx
