    We are going through this now... Pie is 17 months, she did get pickier around the 12 month mark but in the last few days has barely eaten anything, I'm starting to stress a bit. She still has plenty of energy though

    Yep, my 2yr old is living off air too....I don't know how he keeps going. He's like an energiser bunny without the energy going in! But it's obviously enough or he wouldn't be so healthy!

    DD is already the same and not as close to 2 as your DS. She used to eat anything we put in front of her!

    Fussy and etc and if we finally find something he want to eat she will mono eat - so one food only. Xmas day it was Tomato, NYE it was Sultanas...cold fruits are usually a winner. Grapes have been great. Fruit, fruit, more fruit. Pretty much all she wants, apart from veg.

    Was away from home with her on Jan 1 because DH was working NYE so there wasn't her usual breakfast available...took nearly 2 hours to get a piece of toast down her.

    Sometimes I just offer and leave it and eventually the hunger will get the better of her and she'll eat it! I figure if she doesn't immediately throw the plate on the floor that I have a small chance of her eating it.

    Baked Beans mixed with frozen veggies have been a godsend.

    As above...she must be eating enough becuase she runs around like a looney.

    That is a great idea, will have to give taht a go.

    Cheezel, have you tried the sucky yoghurts? (no idea what they are really called ) - the ones in a little pouch. They are a little bit more manageable on their own; will still spill if they're left lying on the couch though
