Persephone - we don't use supplements here, our gp has always told us they will just fill their nappy with your money. Majority of supplements aren't absorbed and will just get flushed, unless there is a proven deficiency. Even with DD2 major eating problems, gp has never said to give supplements. Their bodies are super efficient at taking nutrients out of food, so even a limited small diet will help them grow. Its personal choice though, even if to just make you feel better.

Starengelk - let her go at whatever, as the theory is, if they can pick it up themselves and get it in their mouth, they can chew it. Lasagne is one of DD2 favourite dinners.

Last night she scoffed tuna bake, I couldn't believe how fast to little hands could shovel it in her mouth, she was finished the bowl in under 5 minutes, then played with the rest I gave her. Had to remove tuna bake from her hair and in her ear though, grosssss. Today she ate a ham, lettuce and cheese wrap for lunch and her very first cupcake (aunties will do things like that behind your back)
