Hello!
And thank you for your response, I didn't think I had one because it didn't go through to my email, so I thought I'd just have a little check.
So very grateful for your opinions and advice. Everyone says that I worry so much but it's very hard not to be upset and worried when your child isn't eating properly. She is a defiant character anyway and we are all sure that alot of the whole issue with dinner times is a personality thing, in that she doesn't want to eat what we have asked her to eat!
And one day she may eat a whole fish finger, then a few days later, will flatly refuse to eat it! Same with fruit, one week she'll like bananas, the next week she'll spit it out if eat it at all. So frustrating!
I have given her spag bol since weaning her and she used to eat it with a passion! Now she will spit out the mince meat if she comes across it, and that will often mean she will then refuse to eat the rest of it (one inkling of meat and that's it, game over!).
I have come across a recipe recently, minced chicken balls with tomato ketchup, I squashed it all in with some spagetti and she ate some of it. Although I don't want to have to disguise her meat I think even if she just gets a few bites in it's better than nothing. So i'll keep on with this for a little while. Those balls will be going in everything from pasta to scrambled eggs?!
I am glad for you that your child is coming through the other side. I just pray for the day when things are abit more normal. I went to a barby over the weekend and all the children were tucking into sausages, except for my Charlotte, and it's a little embarrassing if I'm honest
(
Anyway, I think she eats better than some kids, she loves pasta, bread, cereals (and she gets wholewheat of everything), sweetcorn and odd bit of fruit here and there. I won't give up!! Hopefully it will all pay off in the end!
Thanks again
