Caelyns drivng me potty. I dont know why shes so damned fussy. She ate everything i put in front of her when she weaned so I know she likes things like carrots and broccoli and pears et. But shes been refusing pretty much all fruit and veg for about 10 months now and now itsjust getting worse. Shes now starte deciding she doesnt like the few things ive always known she will eat like mashed potato, strawberries, raisins and blueberries, rice and cous cous. Seems like we take 2 steps forward then go about a mile back. She wont eat anything with too much saue on it so hiding veg in thats out and shes stopped eatng the meat in sausage rolls so that is too.
Ive tried the lot, saying nothing, offering an alternative, not offering an alternative, letting her go hngry if she doesnt eat and sod all works and this is trying it for a decent spell of time mark you. Yesterday I lost it. I treated her to a burger king and she ate her chips thenpromptly announced she doesnt like chicken nuggets and pushed it away (nuggets bought cos shes had burgers 3 times and enjoyed them every time and now doesnt like them !!!) so i got annoyed and told her eat it or go to bed, she refused so got put to bed at 6pm and was ordered not to make a sound or come out til the morning. She actually did so I must have sounded pretty mad. I was honestly at the end of my wits with it all.
What the hell more can I do, i get helpful in inverted comments from people who obv dont have fussy eaters like she will eat when shes hungry-nope tried that she just drinks milk and goes to bed with nothing quite unperturbed then is up at 6 asking for milk again. And it makes e feel like i ve done something wrong but what the hell more can I do. I dont want her teaching A to be fussy but she just wont try anything unfamilar she acts like its poison and wont even try it or takes a bite then pulls faces and lets it fall out her mouth
Really starting to get me down now!
