Relle - I totally know how you feel. Lucie is almost 1 and has always been fussy on the bottle and solids. I hate that feeling at each meal time and wonder how she can survive on the little she eats. She definately goes in phases, and (touch wood) at the moment she is eating ok. Definately only finger food though. She totally turned her nose up at the spoon a few weeks ago. Sometimes for lunch I will make some sandwiches and give her one at a time as we are walking in the stroller or pushing her around Big W or somewhere in the trolley. She seems to just eat because she is being distracted by something else too. Lately too we go to the park and she will scoff almost an entire piece of grilled fish while she watches the seagulls and I am holding her (can't let her just run around, or she won't eat a thing!). She also loves 2 min noodles (bad I know, but this is my backup meal when she won't eat anything else) and thinks it's hilarious to slurp them up. Other things that work (at the moment LOL!) are wedges of egg white, large shell pasta, homemade meatballs (I made up a tonne of chicken and lamb with hidden vegies - mashed potato, carrot and pumpkin, threw in an egg and a bit of cooked rice, so far she seems to love them!). Anyway I guess just keep trying thing and try not to stress, although I know that is SOOOOOO hard. Some kids are just small eaters, lets hope one day they find their appetite. And IKWYM about not wanting Cooper to be fussy too, I am that my second bub is totally different when it comes to milk and food too!
