    Yes! DD1 was always a chucker, she was breastfed but got a lot of teeth at 8 months and was biting so she went onto formula. She refused to breastfeed after she stopped teething and would only take the formula, she stopped chucking until we introduced her to yoghurt and cows milk. Then we realised she was lactose intolerant and that she must have known she felt better off it.

    My DS was always a fussy eater.

    Could never get him to eat egg - found out he was mildly allergic.

    Could never get him to eat peanut butter - he has a severe allergy to peanuts.

    However, he did ask to eat cashews at the age of 2 - ate 2 and violently and repeatedly threw up. Another severe allergy.

    However I consider this a blessing actually - it was this reaction that prompted me to take him for allergy testing, and given that his reaction to peanuts would most likely be anaphylaxis it was far better that he ate 2 cashews rather than 2 peanuts.
