Right am finally at the end of my tether regarding DS's (2 in Nov) eating.
He has a very limited diet due to the fact that he refuses to eat most things.
For breakfast he will either eat Cheerios or Sugar Puffs - he will eat weetabix but it seems to burn his bottom when it comes out of the other end!!! He will occasionally eat natural yog with banana and honey.
For lunch he may eat part of a sandwich but more often than not he will just chew it and spit it out - he will only eat cheese or jam no other fillings though and I would say if an eighth of the sandwich gets swallowed we have had a good day!!
For his evening meal he will only eat sausages, sometimes fish fingers or chicken strips and either chips or smiley faces. But I would say that again half of the 2 or 3 chips he eats and maybe a sausage are just chewed and spat out.
He will snack on feta cheese, bananas, satusumas (they will be chewed and spat out), cucumber, crisps, biscuits, raisins or fruit flakes.
I am seriously thinking of making him shepherds pie and good old gravy dinners and if he doesn't eat them just taking them away from him and letting him go without until the next meal. DH said I'm being a bit harsh and I should give him what he likes but other than it being an inconvienince I am worried that he isn't getting a propoerly balanced diet - I don't know why we have got to this stage though as DD eats everything you give her from curry to fajitas and I haven;t treated them any differently!!!
PLEASE HELP!!!
