My LO has always been a fussy eater. We started her on purees and then, as she went off purees, we moved onto baby led weaning where she eats pretty much what we eat. The problem is she eats SO little and each mealtime is a constant battle. Its getting to the stage where I am just dreading sitting down to any meal as we are just constantly trying to get her to eat.
She still takes a bottle before her late morning nap and a bottle at night time so its not as if she is filling up on milk during the day. She will for example eat something one day and not eat it the next.
She has never had weight problems and apart from reflux up to 9 months, has always been a healthy baby. She is more interested in playing with her food than eating it.... throwing it on the ground, squashing it etc. The amount of food, yoghurts etc I throw away is shameful.
Sorry for the long post but has anyone whos BTDT have any advice for me? Do I forget about trying to get her to eat (which will result her in eating nothing) or do the games and trying to coax her into eating just play a part in the life of a 13 month old baby?
Tnx so much for any advice!
