Having a fussy eater is far from unusual, but your child may have a food disorder that can be treated – just don’t put pressure on her
Our daughter, who is eight, had the “best start”: exclusively breastfed, weaned on to vegetables and fruit and healthy home-cooked meals. At some point, she started favouring junk food: pizza, fish fingers and chips. She’d have pasta bolognese for months and then go off it.
She’s decided to go vegetarian so it makes it harder to give her healthy meat alternatives. We’ve tried meal kits but she doesn’t like some of the ingredients. I’ve tried giving her new things, alongside things she will eat, ie cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes and a wide selection of fruit.
