Fussy Eating in Toddlers

Fussy eating is common but can cause a lot of parental anxiety

Fussy eating is common in toddlers. Feeding a child is a highly emotive experience that causes great parental anxiety. I can completely understand this from a parent’s point of view, but also a professional one.

Eating preferences and patterns during the toddler years can be linked with those later in life, but you don’t want to pressurise your child to eat, rather feed responsively and create a relaxed, positive environment and nutrition will follow. There are many strategies that can help with fussy eating but there are ones that can make it worse.
