Aw see this is why i like banda, we may not agree but can have an honest debate about it and nobody gets stroppy or holds it against anyon and actually we all gain from the different opinions

Semo i also hope harry stays a good eater but c was same as him at hs age and is now a demon child! From the sounds of it shes doing better than Thomas and i realy feel for debs cause having gotten a glimpse of it it drives me bananas but shes worrying enough. It took her to 17 months just to get to 20lb then in a week lost like a pound from refusing to eat and it does drive you crackers cos ppl think yuu are being paranoid but when they are already hovering on the bottom end of the chart itshard not to gie in just to make sure they keep some weight on. The good thing is if harry does start being awkward at least you can come rant to us lot about it

AH feel the love on BANDA again, its just the dogs

i think we all carry that big ass flag like yours mario and that why its healthy and no one gets offended.

(there is one here for everyone lol)

Oh god, what a nightmare

Thats just awful, the poor family.

Alice has just got up from her nap and point blank refused her lunch of pasta and pesto wich is one of her favourites so i have removed her from the table and she will have to do without til tea time, i cant carry on like this, its driving me bonkers!

I think that's the best way Jo, hopefully she'll be nice and hungry and eat loads later! xx

just wondering for the mums with the fussy eaters what age did the pickiness start?

10 months for Thomas hun - almost over night

xx

14 months or thereabouts for C

about 14/15months for us too although she has never liked bread.
She will eat toast though, strange child!

always been the year mark for me

Caitlin is nearly 16 mths and while I wouldnt say she was as fussy as some of the other LO's on here I have noticed changes in the last 6 wks, so prob at 13/14 mths things changed.

She wont finish her dinner ever & throws food on the floor after 5 min or if being spoon fed hits you away until she gets the spoon- but cant feed herself properly with it. She still eating most things but doesnt want to be in highchair long - unless its youghurt, veg, raisins, or fruit. Then she'l sit and happily pick at it.

I think its just an independance thing that im hoping will be 'fixed' once she can feed herself a bit better.

snoppy thats what i though. but for me once they could feed them selves it was an even bigger battle. by the time they were a year and ready for forks and spoons alone it got worse. everything ended up on the floor

I have a very fussy eater he will npt eat any mixed food on a spoon together my hv told me to starve him and he will learn but im sorry i just cant do it. So im trying finger foods and its started off great hes eating so much more then before.
The nights ive had where he just wont eat his dinner and then hes up most the night because hes hungary xx

Libby went/goes through phases and they started at around 12 months ish xx
