My 2 year old won’t eat nothing but snacks

I’m in the same boat . Spoke to health visitors and they said they’re not concerned

I have the same problem. He won’t touch nuggets anymore but it’s all snacks, fruit and yogurt otherwise he breastfeeds. Doctors aren’t concerned as his height and weight are good but they did recommend thinking about weaning if I’m ready so he’s more hungry to try things.

Totally normal, my son is 4 and has only just really started to eat the dinners I cook for myself. Try just find some more meals he may like.
I also have a daughter who is turning 2 in august, she is still breastfed and she is obsessed with pasta right now and that's probably one of the only meals she will fully eat x

As someone who struggled with trying new food, one thing I would recommend is trying to include them in the cooking process. It probably takes way more time, but it can help create a sense of ownership/curiosity that makes them more willing to try things! And honestly that could look like letting them cut a fruit or veggie with kid knifes or encouraging them to stir something/ pour something or having them help set timers. Also, it’s a double opportunity because you’re teaching life skills that can help them in the future. :)

Honestly, this is so reassuring to read, as my 2.5 year old is the same. I did mention it to our health visitor at his review, but she said it’s normal and she wasn’t concerned. She also said most kids are like that. It’s just disheartening when they eat the same beige food and mine would snack all day if he could lol. We’re still going amazing and all we can do is continue to offer different foods and one day they might try it. ☺️

Totally normal!
I feel like it’s growth sprouts or something. Some days my 3yo won’t touch food and only demand snacks or fruits.
Usually I try not to force too as I heard the more you push the more they refuse but One day I tried to be firm and said “till you eat meat you won’t have snacks” but that only caused more tantrums and ended up not eating at all so I had to cook her favourite pasta to make sure she isn’t hungry before bed and she ate🙄
Some days she is fine and will eat ok but still she was never a great eater and never preferred the traditional mixed ingredients cooking, will only pick few pieces here and there.
I wait for her to wake up from nap so we have lunch together but she doesn’t like eating right after waking up so I end up eating alone anyway🥴
Great hint there about cooking together I need to try doing that more.
Good luck with weaning, it is a challenge but you’ll get there!

My little one use to be like this but we kept giving the food that she wasn’t eating (only small portions) and we would also let her pick off our plate which helped her to try a lot more new things. I would say keep persisting! If it’s what you’re having to eat anyway have it together and let them pick from your plate too. Only thing she’s fussy with now is meat but we replace with other proteins but still keep trying.
Good luck!!
