Is this enough for dinner?

Please be kind. He doesn’t eat much and very fussy. 😖 that’s a side plate for perspective

I'd say so. My eldest would never have eaten that much at this age

My girl is a picker too and doesn’t eat a typical dinner and would have a similar amount to this. Scone or toast, some fruit, a yogurt and grated cheese.

I hope this is reassuring for you, my daughter very rarely would eat that much. I'd be over the moon if my daughter ate that much and especially with so much variety on the plate!

Update, he ate the ham, potatoes and cheese… left the chicken, pizza and veg 😟

Would you all offer something else later on?

What time is bed? You could offer a little snack before bed like crackers with spread? Are you worried about his weight or does he wake at night?

Yes to offering somethings else later.. or even a cup milk, toast and some fruit Before bed... anything that they'd eat.

@Edel bed time is late so always time for later snacks. This evening he had a banana, kiwi, yoghurt and pancake at 7ish. So frustrating that he won’t eat a proper dinner. He’s quite slight but follows his centile

That’s perfect! If he prefers snacking then go with it- you have a good variety of foods so I wouldn’t worry. My girl is the same, she’s addicted to fruit and cheese but won’t touch much else!
