I would only offer food at set snack and meal times. Its not surprising he wont eat at meal times if he hasnt been taught about them and he wont have an appetite if he grazes through the day.
I have never had this extreme but I have noticed over the years that boys are much more lazy when it comes to chewing my own sun included but you just have to plod on they soon learn if they are hungry.
Is he growing properly?
talk to the health visitor and doctor to make sure there are no underlying health or dental problems
I think the moral is some parents take the soft route not all of us have the same instincts or life examples when it comes to our children .
I guess all we can do is support and guide and provide a routine while in our care.
Good luck keep us posted with how things go.
I guess it also in some cases depends on their experience with children, and their own home life when they were young.
I have found in the various settings Ive worked in some parents wont have anything to do with HV's etc as they see them as busy bodies etc although they can be a great source of information..
we have friends that, for example, when thie kids were really young, mum took the the gerkin out of the burger thwey were eating, when I asked why the reply is because I (mum) dont like it!
