I don’t know any professionals but I am in a Facebook group for fussy eaters and there is useful advice (in amongst the stuff I have heard a million times) but more Likely someone in there is An expert and can direct or people may know of someone x
Yes, they exist as dieticians I would think. You can ask the GP to refer your LO to one.
@L 💜 we found the HVs in our area to not be overly helpful unfortunately. Not gone to our GP yet, thanks that’ll be the next step then x
@Ani thank you. What’s the name of the group?
@Vicky yeah unfortunately some HVs aren't all the helpful. If your worried I'd definitely seek help from the GP. Do you keep a food diary as so show what he eats? Does he still gain weight at all? The nursery nurse I see (my HV is also extremely useless) said to keep track in case he ever gets referred. I have a premature baby who only puts on 100/200g every 6-8 weeks. So it's likely my LB will be referred.
My little boy is the same. He will literally only eat mini homemade pizzas and macaroni pasta. Then eats absolutely nothing at nursery!😫
Our son is the same with his food! Literally won’t try any new things, barely eats a meal. He would quite happily live off milk and snacks! If you find anything worth while please do share!! Xxx
@D'Arcy just seen your comment and my little boy is the exact same with milk and snacks! X
I follow this fashion influencer on instagram called Oliviarose and she took her son to a private specialist and said it really helped! It might be in a highlight or something on her instagram
@Andrea thank you x
@L 💜 we haven’t kept a diary but I’m going to start taking before and after photos of all meals as feel that will hopefully show how bad it can be x
@Alex we have only a few foods he will eat too. If we only offered him what he ate it would be rotating the same 3 lunches and 3 dinners. We still offer him what we have at dinner but it often causes meltdowns x
@D'Arcy same here. People say “if he’s hungry he will eat” but I honestly don’t believe that. There’s something more deep rooted x
@Vicky trust you gut as a mom and insist to be referred to a dietitian. It is best to be checked by a specialist even for reassurance. I do hope it is just a phase to being a pickitarian as I call it 😊
Have you spoke to your HV or GP about being referred to a dietician?
