Not eating

My 2 yr old won’t eat anything he’s always been a picky eater but now it’s just getting ridiculous every meal time is a fight he ends up in tears and I eventually just give up I’ll offer him 4/5 different things that I know he enjoys he’ll refuse them all then just scream till I give him milk but when it comes too snacks he’ll happily eat them any one else’s little one going through this phase what can I do ??

Girl !!! I’m Going through the same with my 2 year old !! I don’t know what to do ! It might be a phase but I’ll see !

Same here! Mine turned 2 about 3 weeks ago and he will eat snacks, milk and fruit but won't touch any proper food at all at breakfast, lunch or dinner 🤦‍♀️

Not sure if I should just refuse the milk till he actually eats or just let him have it

That's the direction we are going now, he has 1 bottle of milk at nap time, 1 before bed and 1 overnight so we are gonna try and cut down the milk to see if he is hungry enough to eat 😭 We probably won't outright refuse it to begin with as I don't think I could cope with the tantrums but we are gonna try and cut it down either half a bottle or a bottle at a time - I'm just so worried he isn't getting all the right nutrients etc.

Don’t offer more options makes them more fussy! Follow Ruth the health visitor on insta. She talks a lot about toddler picky eating

@Eleanor is that @ ahealthvisitor? Ruth Watts? I think I've found her - thanks for that suggestion!

I was going through the same thing, then all of a sudden he’s eating EVERYTHING.

Same. It’s always been such a battle

Literally word for word the same as my little boy! It's so so difficult!

@Hannah yes! She’s really good! X

Mine is doing the same so I mixed his milk with water and the more watery it became (over gradual time so he didn’t notice) the more he started eating. He’s still picky at the moment though!
