trust me, don't feel mean - it will get better. my ds was great until 2yrs of age then shocking till about the age of 4 1/2 yrs now he eats more than me and always ask for more vegies lol
jessie was a shocker, being my first and mil drumming it in to me that she should eat i did everything - dieticians, gps you name it we tried it, in the end i just tried not to get so frustrated and just chill out a bit and eventually it worked, she was slowly getting better tho. if you take a note of what matilda puts in her mouth and eats and drinks every day for a week you will be amazed at how much she really does eat.
i think dh is getting sick of the same old plain meals lol, might cook a hot curry for him and i tommorrow night and the kids can have fish fingers, chips and vegies although i know that lani won't eat the vegies but hey she might surprise me and eat a pea pmsl.
Yay, glad to hear others are having the same probs with dinner. Mackenzie was a champion eater until about 6 months ago and now the ONLY way I can get her to eat anything for dinner apart from ham and pasta is to drown everything in baked beans in ham sauce. Not the greatest but at least she's eating vegies again. Funny, I went to clean up the high chair to put it away 2 weeks ago and since then she wants to sit in the 'babies' chair everynight for dinner. She hasn't sat in it for 8 months but it's made life easy again now she does! No pushing the chair back or trying to escape! I too have tried the 'eat what is cooked or go with out' strategy and it works sometimes but we eat our meal late (usually after shes gone to bed as DH gets home late) but if she's still up and hasn't had dinner she might sit with us and have some yoghurt or fruit. Little buggers aren't they!
