My 21 month old refuses to eat any kind of meat, has done so for about as long as I've offered him meat. I feel like I've tried all I can think of but am worried he's not getting protein, iron etc he needs. It's not like he has a go & spits it out. It's unusual for him to even put it in his mouth.

If I make Chicken Soup, all the chicken gets left in the bottom. If I make a bolagnaise sauce, he'll strip the pasta of all meat sauce & just eat the pasta. Last night we had stir fry, he sucked on the pork but didn't actually bite any. Even say a ham sandwich gets pulled apart so he just eats the bread. When he was younger he wouldn't even eat the meat in those Rafferty's Garden pouches.

He used to love a chicken casserole I got out of Robin Barker's book, but now that he doesn't eat puree he won't eat it.

Actually thinking about it, he will eat pre packaged chicken nuggets...but I can't give him those several times a week. Even then he'll take a bite or two & leave the rest anyway.

Should I be doing anything else? Vitamins even?
