My LO just turned 1 this week and I'm not sure how we are doing with regards to food! He never really was a fan of milk but has always been great with food, fingers foods purees etc.
At the start he would eat everything I gave him or put in front of him. A variety of pureed meats, veggies, potatoes, fruit etc. He would also give all finger foods a go, like pieces of chicken, boiled carrots, brocolli, green beans etc. he would also love banana and avocado and even other stuff like tomatoes etc.
Well ever since last month he isn't eating much at all!!!
He used to have 2 weetabix in the morning, now he has barely 1.
For lunch I am still giving him the purreed meat and veggies, this he will still eat.
In the afternoon he totally refuses ANY fruit, he just pokes it and throws it on the floor. I try to ignore and not react and just put him down.
For dinner he has always had finger food from the start, whatever we were eating. He used to eat so much!!! Now he will only have pizza, bread, maybe brocolli. Everything goes on the floor. Pasta which be used to love, goes on the floor. Same with most other things. I made homemade chicken nuggets the other day, he didn't try it at all. Just threw it on the floor. I am so frustrated as he is TINY!!!! I don't get it..... He doens't even have that much milk maybe total 100z a day... This has been going on for over a month!!! What do I do? Please tell me it gets better!! How can he live on such little food? My other 2 always loved their food so this is all new to me....
I offer 2-3 things each time.What do I do if he doesnt eat anything? Do I give in and make him something he will eat? OR let him go hungry? Not sure I want to get into the habit of cooking other stuff for him. I try and offer him new things on his try alongside things I know he WILL eat but he picks out the ones he likes(cheerios) and dumps the rest)
Thanks!
