My child won’t eat it anymore

BBQ beans and toast

My child used to eat X but has suddenly gone right off it. What should I do?

If your child has suddenly decided they’re no longer going to eat a food they once tolerated or loved, this doesn’t mean you should stop giving them that food to eat.

Keep on offering it. Again and again and again…

Try switching things up a bit to help them regain interest:

  1. Take a break for a week
  2. Prepare it in a different way
  3. Combine it with other foods
  4. Use it in play with no pressure to eat
  5. Get them involved in preparing it
  6. Offer it away from the dinner table
