Hello everyone, hope you're enjoying pancake day
I have a one year old mindee and she just won't eat for me bless her. Her mom dropped her off last week with a note in her diary to say can I note down exact amounts she eats and what it is as shes not eating at home either.
When my son was 2 he stopped eating. He cried and made a big fuss at meal times and I could see his ribs. Hed only eat mcdonalds or chocolate but I wasnt willing to give that every day so I just sat back, bit my tounge and everyday put a new meal infront of him and removed it at the end of meal time without a word. One day he started to eat bits and bobs off his plate and I'd casually say how well he was growing because of the lovely food hed eat. Now he eats everything, even this week we had paella with squid!! I waited for him to ask me to pick it out but no he eat it.
I want to do this with my mindee but obviously its not as simple and when I write down her food it looks like nothing and as she refuses to eat most things there are zero of her five a day in their.
The things she will eat are, toast, buttons, crisps, mcdonalds. So I don't really feel like I have a base to work from.
The meals shes refused are spag bol, pancakes, roast dinner, plain mash potato, plain pasta, pasta with tomato sauce, home made wedges, home made burgers, anything on toast, eggs, omlette, beans, tin spaghetti/ravioli, home made mac and cheese, baked potato.
She is only one year old.
Where can I start! I really want to come up with some sort of action plan to give to mom and say this is what I'm going to do.
Also her poo is (sorry) always just a pale latte type colour. Every single day, which I've never seen before and I've changed alot of bums. It stinks terribly.
She is tiny but she is very happy and active, she isn't talking yet but lots of chattering and she can make animal noises.
Thank you to anyone who managed to read all of that :)
