What should I do.
DD is 2.5 and over the last 3 months has started to refuse food she used to eat and seems to be surviving on mouthfuls of food a day unless its what she really wants(which is junk food)
Wednesday she ate;
No breakfast
Dinner was chicken sandwhiches and yougurt in nursery(not sure how much she ate)
tea was cooked dinner but she only ate the roast potato
Yesterday
2 mouthfuls of weetabix
no dinner
tea - small amount of pasta and sauce and yougurt
Surely eating this amount isnt healthy for her. She has 1 mouthful and then says its all gone unless I offer macaroni cheese where she will eat the whole tin. I dont want to give in and let her eat rubbish all day but then I do want her to eat something.
Should I just continue giving her meals even if she doesnt eat them? or give her what she will eat?
shes 3ft and 2 stone 4lbs(looks really skinny)
