Oh my goodness here I was thinking you cant go wrong with fruit. My DD chows down the fruit and veg, she loves it. its nothing for her to eat a whole apple and orange (cut up) in one day. I wonder if the fruit affects her too.

So by pre packaged processed foods what do you mean? I buy snacks for DD to give when we are about and about, I usually get museli bars, snackatas, sultanas, heinz fruit bars etc. What other snacks can I try? We always have home cooked healthy dinners, loads of veges, but do have the occassional chinese takeaway.

As for the grandparents, I dont know either why they feel the need to fill DD up on junk. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. I have asked them numerous times to lay off it a bit but my requests go over the top of their heads.

Ciara, love your if its not natural stay away idea.

Also I am planning on checking out the failsafe diet.
