[quote=Anonymous] I would ask the nanny to log everything your daughter eats for a few weeks. My guess is that she is eating more of the healthy stuff than you realize. So it may be that after you review the log you no longer worry as much about this issue. On the other hand, if you have a complete log (and that means you should do your part and log what she eats on your watch as well) of two weeks of food and literally the only thing your child will eat is goldfish crackers then you should absolutely take that to her pediatrician and have a bigger conversation, possibly including referral to a specialist. More likely it will be somewhere in between where you are still concerned about her getting a little bit more to eat during the day but you realize that she is at least trying most of the healthy stuff.

At the bottom of it all, is the fact that your nanny has a reasonable goal for your child (to eat the real, healthy food that is offered), she has a reasonable boundary for herself as a nanny (she is not comfortable feeding a child a diet full of food she feels is not healthy or safe long-term), and she has communicated both of those to you respectfully. It is up to you to figure out whether you want to work with her on this or find someone else who will feed your child whatever you want them to feed her.  [/quote]
