Hi there have had a quick scan through recent posts and couldn't find anything similar so here goes. My 26 month old daughter is so very limited in what she eats that i am starting to get concerned and wondering whether i need to be givimg vitamins. For breakfast she has shreddies with semi skimmed milk and a yogurt, morning snack is usually wholemeal toast or a banana lunch is always dairylea sandwiches ( on wholemeal bread) , half a pakcet of wotsits or quavers and a slice of malt loaf . She usually eats it all. Afternoon snack is either a biscuit , sometimes she will eat apple , or a toasted teacake ( about half ) . The real probs seem to be at tea time, all she wants to eat is either beans on toast, potato waffles and beans , occasionally she will eat pizz ( again with beans) . I have been trying to get her to eat what me and her father eat but she just want touch it. I have stopped giving her a yogurt afterwards, Last night she had one bite of garlic bread and that was all. She has supper before bed which is either a piece of fruit loaf or toast. Shoud i carry on and hope that one day she will just eat what i want her to or should i give her what i know she likes and some of ours as well.
I have switched to low salt and sugar beans as she was eating so mny of them. Looking at what i have written it doesn't seem too unhealthy it's just very limited. oh and she loves ice cream and chips but what 2 year old doesn't.
Hope am doing the right thing by trying to get her to eat diferent foods. For the last few months have been giving her what i know she will eat with a new food on her plate as well, this doesn't seem to have done anything, though i have seen her put different thing in her mouth and spit them out again.
