Child will not eat!

My son 14 months. Will not eat any food unless it’s a potato waffle or a chicken nugget. We are a house that has quite an extended pallet and we offer all our food to our 14 month old. Food has ALWAYS been an issue but he would rather starve than eat anything aside from a potato waffle or a chicken nugget. Which he can’t have breakfast or lunch. He still gets 7oz in the morning and 7oz at bed which consists of 4oz formula and 3oz oat milk he will not take more oat milk than formula. I’ve tried removing his morning bottle for him to eat a breakfast but he would literally rather starve! Please any tips! Cause this is actually stressing and depressing me!

Just wondering, have you considered making your own? You could hidden veggies etc and blitz it? X

@Elle (i can't see waves) I make all our meals from scratch and hide the veggies ( mainly cause my partner is anti veggies too) but he just won’t touch it outright refuses and throughs it away and this is breakfast lunch and dinner. My son gets really frustrated and angry if we try to spoon feed him so everything has to be like a “picky plate” for him to pick up or try using his cutlery. We offered potato waffles and chicken nuggets one day as a one off as normal he wouldn’t get anything like this due to allergies ie dairy,eggs,fish,peppers I make everything from scratch so I know exactly what’s in everything and he ate that but he won’t eat anything aside from this.

Molars are coming thru

@Nickyickyicky yes he had 2 molars cut. However this has been an issue since around 10 months. It’s not really an overnight thing.

My mum used to make homemade chicken nuggets, blitzed crisps of choice as the crumbs and coat chicken breast bits and serve with homemade dip maybe? I know it’s the same thing but if you are wanting homemade! Would he take a potato rosti type thing or potato fritter and cut up some veggies into it? So hard when they have the foods they just want 🙏🏻
