Question

My son is 8 months old but he will not eat his dinners. He will eat toast and his breakfast and dessert jars and boxes, but he will only eat chips at dinner and he doesnt like his baby dinners. What can I do to get him to eat healthy dinners

Answer

Thanks for this question.

 

You're certainly not alone in having a little one who is a bit fussy. Many children will develop fussy eating behaviours which can be frustrating for you. Try to offer a wide variety of foods for meals and snacks and try not to show you're worried if he rejects what you offer. Just calmly take it away and avoid offering a treat food for if he eats his dinner.

 

Bear in mind that when offering new foods, it can take at least 8 separate occasions before your little one will accept the new taste, so persevere.
