Yeah she's sleeping now!

BTW - When you want to delete lots of text and only use a paragrapgh or whatever, as long as you leave the [QUOTE/] bits in, the other poster will be able to tell you've quoted their post!

We never go to McDonalds!

She's eaten the little chicken bites from Burger King though. She doesn't like burgers.

You'd get her into a whole new range of food, which wouldn't hurt occasionally.

Crunchy chips
Carrot sticks
Chicken bites
fruit
fish fingers
milkshake


I bet you'd kill to get her to eat those at home.
If she wanted to go back, you could then make your own at home.

I've bought her the wee bags of fruit to see if she would eat them and she doesn't.

Anything is worth a shot though I suppose!

Did your techniques work with your kids? You must have tried bloody hard aswell!!

One is still a fussy eater, but she has channelled it to being a vegetarian, but still doesn't eat as much veg as I'd like though.
(She will eat it, just won't rush for seconds)

But what you make at home is not the same at all.

It's like when you ask a parent 'do they eat spag bol' and they say 'yes she loves it, it's her favourite' So you make it and maybe allow them some parmesan at the table which she smothers her plate with and is v expensive and then take s one bite and won't eat the rest.

The child needs to be able to eat from it's mothers comfortable repatoire.

New experience, new surroundings, and a day outwith mum.
I know Mcdonalds aren't the heathiest food to be found, but expanding what she eats is the first thing to overcome.
Then add other healthier items to the meal at home.

A thin chip is a thin chip.

You need to leave all the quotey type bits...I think the ] is missing from your post

Quote this post to try it out again...we'll get you there eventually!!

Leave the bit at the top that will say something like [angelicmary85;12345/] and then the bit at the bottom which will just be [/QUOTE]

but the thin chip is of no food value at all.

Anyway, I'm afraid I need to bow out - and Angel you may be up early with a hungry DD, but keep going.

Does baby eat porridge - could make him some with a big song and dance about how yummy this is and see if big sis wants some as an after thought?

I'm making pancakes in the morning for my own plus the 3 students we have with us so I'd better go!
