is he getting all he needs-nutrition
Hello girls, hope your all had a fab xmas!
I dont post on here very often anymore but i feel i need some opinions on this.
Harrison is 2 now and is going threw a really fussy stage food wise. All he eats at the moment is cereal, waffles fish fingers some fruit and biscuits. Ive been sitting with him for ages every night trying to get him to eat a decent meal but usually to no avail, he just hold it in hi mouth for ages then eventually spits it out and starts saying no no no! (he wouldnt touch his xmas dinner) from yesterday we have stopped all the rubbish (biscuits, xmas sweets ect) until he starts eating something decent. But now im worried that he isnt getting enough iron, vits and minerals. he often look pale and has had no end of colds and coughs just recently
Ive been thinking about putting him back on toddler milk and giving him a couple of cups a day so i know he is at least getting some goodness from the milk, he is quite small for his age so i dont want him to loose any weight or anything.
would love some opinions on this, what do you think?

Just wanted to say I'm going through the same thing with Lily at the mo. Lately she won't want to eat any p;roper food but wants to graze on biscuits, choc etc all day. I'm trying to be a bit more strict and not offer her any treats if she doesn't eat her meal. Also I'm going to do a star chart where if she eats most of her meal/ tries everything on her plate then she gets a sticker.
I think it's a toddler phase really but it can be worrying.
Good luck. xxx
To be honest harri could do with the extra calories and was going to give him it at bed so would interfere with meal times.
think i might give it a go and see what happens...... shit or bust as they say lol! xxx
I think I'm going to get cole some vitamins just to make sure he's getting something good - shreddies alone cannot make a boy grow lol. Mummystephe told me about some I think called minadex or something like that which apparently have a side effect of increasing the appetite so i'm going to try those.
