    Ooh today I gave Louis an open s/w with vegemite and melted cheese and it went in an instant. So it's still a sw as such but it's warm and gooey! Just another option....Good luck!! If he's eating well at brekky and lunch I'm sure he's getting enough!

    Jack has only just stopped being a fussy eater. The nurses and paed we saw all said it was fine to give him a hot meal during the day (in fact they recommended it). Our prob was a little different though, Jack would only eat sandwich, vege toast, cheese, weet bix and yoghurt. Usually he'd eat fruit at day care but never at home. The idea in our case was to get him to eat other things. Eventually it has worked. But they all said the same thing, the biggest thing we were doing wrong was giving him too much milk and the food he liked so he wasn't hungry enough to try other foods. They also said that children don't starve themselves, they'll eat if they need it.

    Your son will be fine whether he eats lunch or not, but if you prefer to give him something he'll eat I reckon that would be just fine. GL!
