What does your 2 year old eat?

Thanks for the replies. I'm glad there are a few different eating habits out there. This little fee low of mine is very different to my other boys at this age. He won't eat anything if there is mashed potato on his plate. He screams and throws his fork and spoon and just whooshes his arms across the table until everything has cleared. He only ate purée food for ages and will still eat different fruits that are puréed so maybe it is more texture related. He is very sensory too so I wouldn't be surprised if he were like your DS Kim. I try to get him exposed to different foods but he just flips his head back and screams or throws the food straight to the ground. Frustrating little man is doing my head in - our kitty loves to sit under his chair though so at least someone is happy!

I know this goes against the grain of lots of parents, but have you tried offering him a plate of various bits and pieces in a place that's not at the table? Maybe on his own little table, or on a picnic blanket outside for example? Might be 'funner' (), less threatening.

I used to be so desperate for DS to eat I'd leave random plates of food everywhere in the hope he'd try them. Obviously you can't do that with pets around, but just offering some empathy.
