2yr old fussy Eater

My son literally does not eat whatever I give him.
He does enjoy crackers,toast& of course quavers. He eats turkey dinosaurs,Nuggets,sometimes sausages.

But anyway since he been weaned he just refuses to eat anything.
He won’t touch: meat,fruit/veg,pasta,potatoes

Anyone else’s toddler the same? Will he grow out of this?

Yes same story to my little girl

Avatar

my two year old is the same. He only eats bananas, apples (inside the pancakes), organges (only sucks them), meatballs or chicken. So basically his meals are always the same. If I give me anything else he won't touch it. I guess the trick is to hide fruits and veggies in other foods. e.i: mixing grated apples and bananas with pancakes, and mixing carrtos, celery, onions etc on the tomato sauce for the pasta that he eats with meatballs. it is really frustrating but know you are not the only one as I am here struggling with the same issue

it’s so difficult and just hope it’s a thing he will grow out of and he will eventually start trying different foods x

Yeaah I think I’m going to have to try different methods. But. Ugh so annoying

My boys exactly the same! We went to see a nutritionist and they recommended the monkey smoothies you can get in supermarkets as they boost another 100kcals per drink and then just feed him what he eats, it won’t hurt him and Atleast he’s eating!x

My LG is the same, she'll eat pasta (as long as it's cut quite small so she can swallow it without chewing). She'll eat bananas, loads of crackers, nuggets, a couple of chips, toast, bread, and recently has taken to eating a jam sandwich. Other than that... Not a chance. God help her when she starts nursery in September!

If he's happy eating, what he's eating, then just give him what he likes. Fed is best at the end of the day. X

I will have a look at those x

My son is exactly the same! He's been so fussy since weaning! Lunch is dairylea sandwich and crisps. Only fruit he will eat is strawberries, blueberries and bananas so that's my saving grace really!
Does he like baked beans? I've found that if I mix things in baked beans he will eat it better.
The only veg he will eat is peas and sweetcorn mixed and that is only recently and he's 2 now. Maybe if you put some on the side with his nuggets and see if he picks at them?
Mine won't eat potatoes at all.
Pasta I can get away with spag bol and lasagne, does he eat those? That's the only meat mine will touch too!
Don't worry too much, I've spent the last year worrying about it but at the end of the day as long as he's eating and happy then that's all that matters! Doesn't matter what it is really, there's alot of pressure over what foods to give children etc but sometimes it's not as easy as that so give yourself a break 😊

let me know how it goes!

Luckily my girl is a good eater but I used the what mummy makes recipe books and there's a few where you can hide veg. If he'll eat pasta with sauce there's a pea pasta recipe that's yummy and I also make my own nuggets which have cheese and broccoli blended in with chicken. I wont lie a bit messy to make and set aside time but it's hidden nutrition again x

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide
