Eating? Eating? Doesn't that involve food? We can't do that!

We've had trouble getting Alex to eat since he was born! He wouldn't start solids until 8 months. Won't feed himself even now he's nearly two, apart from limited occasions. Won't eat much unless it's from Mummy's plate. Daddy's plate is not good enough. And Alex's plate? NO WAY!

He eats maybe 3 tablespoons of mushy Weet Bix or Coco Pops for breakfast, a small yogurt for morning tea, one or one and a half cruskits for lunch, some fruit (like maybe 10 grapes) for afternoon tea, and plain rice or plain pasta for dinner. God forbid we might have meat! Alex doesn't eat meat unless it's kabana or sausage. He does like cheese, but only the expensive stuff!

He gets chocolate only on special occasions, and not much, as he has a lactose intolerance (can't drink cows milk, but can eat low fat yogurt and icecream). He has soy milk, Ribena and apple juice (diluted) for drinks, won't drink water unless he's sick.

Fussy? My boy? I think fussy is not quite it!
