We had a very fussy phase too. I kept giving him an alternative option and always “gave in” and he ended up eating bread only…one day I had enough and just stopped. For a few weeks he would just not have dinner because he refused it. He does have a bottle before bed and never woke during the night so I knew he wasn’t hungry. He now understands that dinner is what he has on the plate and no other options. He is still fussy with meat and veggies so I always offer carbs, meat and veggies and at least he eats the carbs. Sometimes meat too. Vegetables never 😂 but it’s progress. x Dinners: lasagne, spaghetti Bol, pasta bake, pesto pasta, fish fingers & wedges, rice and chicken, stews (slow cooker, less effort), fish cake.. 😊
For dinner we try eat the same e.g. lasagne, spag bol, fish pie, chilli, risotto, mini roast dinner, sweet potato curry, any pasta dishes, sausage and sweet potato mash etc. If she’s being fussy (not when she is unwell or teething) I don’t tend to offer anything else. We carry on eating and this usually makes her start to eat some eventually as she realises she’s not getting anything else. If worst comes to the worst i’ll give some greek yoghurt and fruit near the end so I know she’s had something. If she’s unwell or teething then avocado is a fridge backup x
