Hi there, was just reminded of this on another thread so I thought Id ask in here anyone else have a "fussy eater"? Lexie is extremely food phobic which absolutely breaks my heart. Shes seeing a specialist but no breakthrough yet. She will eat- bread and butter, cheese, yogurt, fish fingers (maybe), tin of peppa pig shaped pasta (occasionally and must be peppa pig shaped) and she took a bite of a sausage the other day... So absolutely no fruit or veg, no meat, no potatoes.
We are going to MIL's for dinner at xmas and im worried about eveyone commenting on her eating, shes very self aware for a 2 yr old and this is a genuine phobia that she gets very upset over. At home she gets a plate of what the family has to eat plus something that she enjoys eating, which is the track we are following per doctors instructions. Im just worried shes going to get people encouraging her to "take a bite of this its lovely" which we do at home but can seriously upset her at times, to the point she starts clawing her face and freaking out trying to get away
Im thinking about saying something but dont know how to put across without sounding like im coddling her and wrapping her up in cotton wool? Her wee brother has no bother with food whatsoever! Thanks for getting this far though!
