Hi my 21 month old DD has always been a fussy eater. Tbh I think she takes after DH's family and just isn't that bothered by eating. We've managed it most of the time but she is going through a stage now where she is refusing her evening meal and asking for pudding. I try varying the meals to try and encourage her but she gets upset and cries for pudding. I am quite soft and usually give in but DH has stepped in and said if she refuses her meal and one other alternative then she goes without pudding. I feel terrible as she is slim and I hate denying her any food even if it is pudding! I'd be grateful for any advice. Is DH being too harsh or is he right?
