I've had the same problem with both of mine, at different times or another. I know it is really hard but I just had to keep telling myself that they will eat when they are hungry, and they do. It's stressful I know. It was bad when my DD was going through this stage as she is naturally a small person ( I went through so much when she was due because she wasn't 'average size'!!) and I often got comments about how I musn't be feeding her, which just wasn't true, I was trying! (She has just turned 2 and is still in size 0, moving closer to 1's!). With her esp. I just kept on giving her what she would eat, with her it was yoghurt. Some weeks she wouldn't even eat that. My main consolation was that she was still having at least a bottle at night, so she was getting some form of food into her. The best piece of advice I found was to keep a diary of everything she ate for a week. Once I looked at it on paper and averaged it out over a day and even a week, it was better than I thought. We still are struggling with dinner, half of the week she doesn't even eat dinner. These days as long as she has had a decent b/f or lunch I'm happy. Plus there's the bottle before bed. We also have a 20 minute thing happening, if she hasn't eaten or is eating when we are all finished and 20 minutes is up, it's gone. So don't worry, it really is normal!! If it is worrying you still get the doctor or child health nurse to check her over. All I can suggest is just feed her what you know she will eat, if it is dip, then so be it. I know you feel like you aren't feeding her a varied diet but isn't some food (even if it is the same one over and over again!!) better than none? Keep on going, you are doing great! I know it's hard to keep your cool and to keep stress levels low but another thing is also to not let mealtimes become stressful for everyone. That can cause problems too. Just offer her food, if she eats it great, if not well too bad. G/L with it!!
