yasin sounds completly normal lani has been a terrible eater since day dot lol (yup even on the bb she was a shocker) but i just persevere, some nights she looks at her plate and crys, i tend not to make a fuss and we continue eating and eventually she might put a pea or something in her mouth - i believe as long as children are offered good food on regular occassions throughout the day they won't starve.

i have learnt alot in fussiness of foods with jessie she was as bad if not worse than lani - i was at my wits end, took her to paedatricians, dieticians, queen elizabeth centre (like tressilan) etc etc and we never got anywhere that was what she was going to be like. my ds was a great eater up until the age of 2 1/2 yrs when he would hardly eat anything - he is now 5 1/2 yrs old and eats as much as me.

try not to stress yourself out - yasin will eventually come around in the meantime maybe try disguising things i make some pretty good muffins (full of vegies) the kids love em also i make a "zucchine cake" with lot of vegies they think its great cause its cake lol - i also try and be a little creative ie food made into faces etc etc.

lani would be lucky if she is 10kgs and she is 16mths old but she walks and talks, is very knowing and inquisitive just damn stubborn and independant (i could not physically feed her from a spoon from around 8mths of age - she constantly pushed my arm away no matter what i tried. she uses a fork and spoon now and doesn't throw her food down anymore (just sometimes hides it under her bottom lol) i think it takes a bit of turning a blind eye and not make any comments about throwing food on the floor etc.

one thing i have learnt over the years is not to stress about them eating it is totally not worth it - as long as they seem to be growing well, are alert and active they should be fine.

anyway i am so sorry this post is long i really just wanted to add to try not to worry about these little humans and their eating or lack of eating habits
