My 3 yr old eats half as much as my 1 yr old!! He will eat plain boiled pasta spirals, spaghetti hoops/ numbers/ dinosaurs etc, fish fingers, cruskits, pear.... My husband does a great trick where he shouts out " shop's open" and "sells" little snacks which is a fool proof way of getting him to eat. It seems to change very day what he will and won't eat. I try to ask him what he wants (offer him 3 choices) and try and get it on the table by 1730.
We are in a holding pattern, not winning but not losing either. It doesn't help that DS2 eats everything offered to him and then some!!!
Good luck everyone else.
Tonight she ate about three pasta spirals, and then DH was able to bribe her without too much fuss to have a couple of mouthfuls of pasta and sauce.
Noticed she's been a bit grizzly over the last couple of days though, so I'm thinking that it's all related.
I did make her some icy poles - pureed some strawberries and added some juiced oranges and then froze them. She wasn't impressed until I ate one (they're not bad!), and then she wanted to finish the rest off. I haven't been able to crumb and bake anything yet, my oven element is gone and is now on order, so itching to get that back.
We'll keep trying and working through your suggestions. Thanks
