Who bloody knows, half the time you end up wondering how they could possibly be yours! Haha.

That’s cool, I wish mine would eat tomatoes and cucumbers and the like! Gah! One day …

Why do kids do that? It’s just to keep us on our toes I guess but you end up making something because they declared they LOVED it last time and then they declare it’s DISGUSTING. You can’t win!

That’s a good rule, I might try implementing it somehow!

Probably, I have to admit I just did some googling not knowing what I would actually find but found several articles on this one study so it fit! I’ll go and check out your blog, thanks!

The study leaves a bit to be desired from scientific merit basis but there are some great points. I am also a parent talk contributor and would love to chat to you more about fussy eating. I am a feeding therapy assistant and blog all about feeding kids. X Simone Emery

Haidee, huge kudos to you. We have a son that doesn’t like turkey or chicken and a daughter who is vegetarian, and then my gluten issues. We have a hard time too, trying to make dinner for everyone is an Olympic feat! But it sounds like you have it much harder. Thankfully they all have things that they do like, that would make life even harder, but to have a child choose not to eat if you don’t have the right things? Girl, you impress me. You should be wearing a Gold Medal for figuring this all out and working with it! Hopefully as they grow it will get better, and that you don’t die of dietary boredom! LOL You need to treat yourself after all this hoop jumping!

Glad you have a sense of humour about your fussy eaters at least! I have a 15 month old who I thought was fussy for a long time, turned out he just didn’t want to be spoon fed by Mum. Since we switched to finger foods he’s a million times better, except for vegetables. I’d also read children might need to be given a food up to 15 times before they’ll try it, but I’ve been giving him vege mix twice a day for about 6 months and he’s never had a bite. (He’s tried, but it makes him gag!) I’m totally with you on not doing finger-fed bolognese, nothing saucy at all.

It’s nice to know we’re not alone! I have one kid who’s a proud eat everything guy but his brother is a nightmare. Peanut butter and jam sandwiches every single day including Christmas. He actually cried when I gave him french toast for breakfast. Ugh! So glad they grow out of it!

we were blessed to have a bottomless stomach who will eat anything! my brother on the other hand barely eats anything at all (chicken and rice is about as exciting as it gets!) he doesn’t eat chips either (weirdo)
