20month old will only eat dry food

[mammasimpson]

Hi my daughter used to be a fab eater but now she'll only eat finger or dry food, so if i give her a plate of potatoes and savoury mince she'll only eat the potatoes that are round the edge that hasn't touched the sauce, they've noticed it at nursery too, she used to love pasta, cheesey bakes etc.. i'm finding it difficult to give her healthy balanced meals, she's not losing weight and she is a happy child and is happy to sit at the table with us so, any advice?

oh dear I only just came into this forum to find the answer of SAME question....
My 21 months old son is the same never likes touching anything wet or slimy like cooked meal or cut up fruits or veg..he'd only eat dry things like, dry cereal, dry crisp(which i dont really give him), dry rusks cookies, dry bread, pieces of flatbread etc...ivve tried everything and he wouldn't even feed himself with the spoon/fork...im at my wits end..dont know what to do...tried everything.
i just noticed ur post is quite old so im wondering how is ur daughter now? was it just a phase, did u try any thing new?
