[quote=Anonymous]OP here: I am aware of the philosophy in those books, like "Child of Mine" etc. that you're supposed to just offer them food, and if they don't eat, they don't eat, they will eat at the next meal if they're hungry. Not to be a short order cook etc. But it's hard for me not to go and get her more food and keep trying new things. PP who said you offer them what you're having, she doesn't really eat with us much. We eat dinner late, after DH gets home, and so we never eat dinner with her. Lunch she eats by herself usually too with the nanny. On weekends we try to eat more with her, and we take her out to eat, but we usually end up bringing pouches and yogurt and crackers etc. to restaurants because we know she won't eat anything. She refuses to eat things that are junky and delicious too- like mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, quesadillas, etc- it's hard to believe. and yes, I am glad the foods she will eat includes TONS and TONS of cut up fruit and guacamole- both are healthy. I worry that she doesn't get much protein except from dairy (she drinks plenty of milk and eats yogurt). And no, no health issues. and no sensory issues because she has gone through phases where she did eat those things - she even ate chicken nuggets and organic hot dogs and turkey breast etc briefly for maybe 2 weeks around 15 months old - there are phases where it's more or less extreme. we are trying to really cut back on snacks so that she goes to meals hungry- eating a whole cup of cheddar bunnies at 330 pm is no longer an option.[/quote]
