My LO won’t eat dinner

If you give her the same kind of food that she eats for lunch at dinner time, will she eat that?

@Sophie for lunch she has pesto pasta most of the time with some fruit and cheese so I have been trying to avoid pasta again!

I wouldn't worry about repeating pasta, it's better than her eating snacks and eating pasta is a gateway to eating all kinds of things with it in the future. I guess you need to be careful about the salt content of the pesto though. Will she eat plain pasta? My little one does, which I find weird but it's pretty handy! He also likes dipping it in baked beans 😂

Thank you will definitely give it a try! I make my own pesto so juggle the ingredients a bit. I never really thought about just simplifying it, too busy stressing about her not eating at all or eating any veg 🤣 but like you said definitely better than snacks x

Had the same thing last few days, so I tried to not give him snacks so he can have proper food and it works maybe try to reduce snacks and see

As above I agree don’t offer the snacks. When my girl stops eating as much I stop the snacks and by the evening she will eat all her dinner. Once her appetite increases again I offer snacks I just make sure it doesn’t affect her meals

Thanks guys will try reduce the snacks - although she asks for them a lot she only has a mid morning and mid afternoon snack x
