my ds is fussy too.
One tip, which you could try... He loves mashed potato with cheese in, so I gave him that regularly, to give him his veg and protein intake for the day. THEN, after a few weeks of him having that regularly, i add a few bits of sweetcorn. He spat one out, but ate the rest (without chewing it!) Now I can give him a huge plate of mashed potato, FULL of sweetcorn, and he loves it.
HOWEVER, there is no way he will eat sweetcorn on its own! I even tried pureed sweetcorn last week, but he just stared at it and cried. How do we introduce new foods?!
In fact, he really wont eat much fruit or veg at all - his MAIN problem with it is that he seems to hate the texture of things. He likes mashed potatoes, but wont try boiled. He wont even attempt any form of chopped fruit or veg. I have resorted to buying 100% fruit puree tubs, which he eventually eats, but it's not the cheapest way to do it!
I hate throwing food away, and I hate making things for him which he wont even try, so I go for the easier option each time.
Does anyone have any tips?
