Yeh I have a very fussy one also end up having to cook about two different sets of meals

...I have been thinking about giving the fussy one vitamins for children..you can get some good chewy ones that are a bit like sweets...so at least you know they are at least getting some nutritional values in them through that

they cant have the chewy ones till there 3,so i cant even give corey them yet.i tried the drops but he hated them!
people say just cut the junk out and they will soon eat the healthy food but that dont work eaither he just dont eat then!

my son is very fussy too,but i was speaking to his health nurse and told her this,she just said not to worry too much just once he is not hungry and he is eating something.she said not too worry at all,so in my opinion just give him what he likes and dont worry too much over it...there is not a lot else u can do anyway!

Its hard sometimes isn't it what with wanting the best for them. Melanie is right though. I hope you can work through it

i got an idea my dad used to play with us yrs ago put a blind fold around him and say we are going to play taste guess wot ur eating . tell him he has to eat it like it or not. whilst hes blind folded tell open his mouth n put sum other fruits sweets veg anything. if he guess the correct answers and likes either one fruit or veg he gets a prezzie or wotever it worked on us if u like give it a try
