My 2 and half year old is refusing nearly everything I give her, food she’s previously loved. We’ve just comeback from butlins and every meal time was an issue, it’s battle of wills! She’s asking for ice cream but won’t eat dinner first. She’s fussy enough with fruit and veg to begin with to be honest but would always eat a Sunday dinner. It seems like she just does t wavy anything we try her with! Anyone else’s little one have this phase? I know she likes the food as she’s eaten it before and been fine!

My daughter goes through phases of eating next to nothing, I just don’t make a fuss and give her what I know she will eat even if it’s just a yoghurt x

Thanks hun I’ll just have to get on with it and try not to react, it really gets my back up when I stand and make something and she won’t even try a mouthful and I know she likes the food!

Yeh both mine go through this occassionally. Nothing much can you do but continue to offer. I don't give any treats/ puddings if they don't eat a decent amount. If their complaining they're hungry they can help themselves to the fruit bowl.

Theos always been like this. We have just stopped fighting, he's offered food and if he is hungry he will take it, we don't offer him things like crisps, chocolate, cake, ice cream or any sweet snacks other than fruit. He gets offered three meals a day and If he doesn't eat then that's fine. Easier said than done but don't get to caught up on her food intake, she won't starve herself, if she knows shes not going to get the sweet stuff and she's hungry then she'll eat what's offered eventually.
Another thing we've found is if we try to encourage theo to eat when he isn't really interested then he's less likely to eat, so we literally just leave him to it, his dinner is on the table but if he wants to run around and come back and fore then we let him. We don't make a fuss if he eats a whole meal and we don't make a drama if he doesn't eat anything. It's a tricky mind set to get into at first, but you just have to remember that she won't starve :) x

Thank you very much, I’m trying to just let it go and if she doesn’t eat her dinner I just accept it, so frustrating though. We’ve just had a very stressful Sunday dinner where she ended up crying and in a state. She wanted to just have roast potatoes in her hand but obviously I wanted her to eat her bowl of chicken mash and veg etc...in the end I just got her down and she’s had one roast potato 😔
