Fussy eater suddenly

Little one was really good 3 substantial meals a day with odd snack around these recently she’ll eat her breakfast then just refuse a ‘main dish’ for her lunch ie sandwich and just wants snacks then come dinner depending on what it is will refuse this too so will go whole day with 1 decent meal as such. Anyone else!? Today I made her a sundried tomato pasta with steak and veggies - nopeeee then tried her chicken avacado and cheese toasted wrap she didn’t fancy at lunch took a few nibbles then was demanding a biscuit which i refused despite the tears and the pleases and mummy come on gesturing to the kitchen she’s now settling for some grapes and cubes of cheese so she doesn’t go bloody hungry!! 🙄 please is this a phase is she forming habits I don’t know

Could of wrote this myself! Mine has been like this for a while now, he’s not eating any veg apart from peppers! He’s also going through a stage of not liking his hands messy too it’s so hard not to give into him. X

@Nicola glad it’s not just me! Also thinking of 3x meals 7 days a week and snacks that differ for variety week on week is being very tedious 🙈 running out of new ideas!!!

@Rebecca nope definitely not! However his appetite hasn’t been right since last time he was poorly with tonsillitis, I don’t know if I made a rod for my own back and have let him have just snacks because it’s all I could get him to eat or he’s just became really fussy all of a sudden. Yep same, he’s gone from eating 3 full meals and 1-2 snacks a day to about 2 meals and 1 snack 😩

My LB seems to have reduced his food intake recently. Although oddly is into broccoli at the minute. But I have read that they might not eat as much at this age as they grow more slowly. It is very difficult, especially when you have made such an effort to make food for them and it gets refused x

my son is very fussy now and the only fruit/veg he will eat is peas. he used to eat such a variety of foods but everything is very beige and plain now. except strangely he’ll eat a korma curry 😅 the rest of the time is pasta, nuggets, fish fingers and any form of potato plus snacks x
