Any ideas what to feed a 2 year old, my little boy refuses to eat much more than saugage, pizza or porridge and still has runny nappies and ive been told should be solid by now (i know not a nice topic, but worrying for me) think it might be his diet, Any ideas

Apparently it can take a child up to 10 tries of a new food before they actually eat it,so i would keep trying with 2 new foods on their plate along with their favourite food and even if they just put the food to their mouths praise them and use stickers everytime they put a new food in their mouth. Encouragement and praise is a must for children when you are trying to get them to try and eat new food.
Good luck!!x

my two year old is terrible just now. she does eat most things but i cant get her to eat veg she licks it and then leaves it. I`ve tried to disguise it and she spits it out! It must just be a phase they are going throught, try not to worry too much.

my 2 year old can be picky too and goes in different phases. I choose organic whenever possible, nitrate free lunch meat, and avoid food additive chemicals. he loves sliced apples, grapes, and loves loves baby tomatoes. a few things he has eaten are quesadillas with turkey and avocado, chicken noodle soup and ill toss in some extra veggies like carrots, chicken nuggets, baked French fries, cheese pizza, miso soup with noodles, grilled cheese, and mac n cheese from whole foods and ill let him throw in some extra cheese and stir it and he must have his grape tomatoes at every meal or he'll remind me lol

Have you tried just giving whatever you're eating?

I prefer for breakfast, cearal or oatmeal. maybe one egg and a piece of toast.
for lunch, half a pbj sandwhich, sliced apple, & milk, or a lunch meat sandwhich (1/2) with sliced tomatos or green beans with milk. or a soup that has chicken bullion, tomato sauce, noodles, and veggies.

dinner, what ever is for dinner, but with smaller portions.

I find my little girl loves pasta, cheese pasta, tuna, chicken, vegetable even pot noodles, I think little ones like things that take less time chewing as they get bored easily and can't be bothered eating it
