Hi all .. I have read and read everything I can until I'm almost cross-eyed, and I don't know what to do for my 21 month old son. Over the past week he has decided not to eat anything other than junk (which of course he will gladly eat) and yes, we are guilty and put our hands up for giving into him, just to get him to eat something! He won't eat vegies or meat at all, won't eat pasta or cereal, sandwiches etc - occassionally will fang some apple, orange or banana (very occassionally). My husband used to be a chef and whips him up delicious little homemade muffins, sweet and savoury as well as filled toasties, vegies and the list goes on and on - the little beggar won't even put them in his mouth to see what they taste like. We are down to him maybe fanging a piece of toast - IF you strike the topping right - sometimes with marmite, sometimes with jam, sometimes just plain butter - but even though he might have asked for the topping, if its not what he was ultimately thinking, it gets chucked on the floor in disgust, as does everything else. Yoghurt has even gone by the wayside. Please help .. what do you give a toddler who won't eat anything??? We've even tried just leaving a plate of food within eyesight, hoping he might pick at it ... NOT! We have tried all the creative things they suggest on the handouts and sheets plus our own and we're getting no where. HELP! HELP! HELP!
