Layth is proving to be very picky with his eating now that I've had to resort to giving him a multivitamin + iron supplement (Pentavite).
Every day he eats and wants to eat the same things:
Cornflakes and milk for breakfast
1-2 oatmeal/choc chip cookies mid morning
1 piece of bread + nutella for lunch
1 muesli bar/1 small bag of crisp for tea time
A few cups of strawberry milk
Sometimes that's all he eats each day. No dinner. He's too excited to see one of us come home from work to be able to stomach any dinner.
Once every 3 days or so he'll have a ferocious appetite and eat whatever's on fare. But other times ...getting him to eat is one big chore.
Even when he's served with his favourite pasta, he picks out anything other than pasta (prawns, chicken, veggies) and puts them aside. Argh.
Unless we eat spaghetti bolognese every day - which he loves and is probably the only way to get some iron and vitamins into him - I really don't know what else to do. Maybe this is just a phase? He used to like eating fruits - now he doesn't eat them anymore.

haha..sama cam adik ana yg hanaa tu! mak ana dah pening2 camne nak suruh budak ni makan. tapi cam lepas 3 hari makan sikit... sehari lepas tu makan sgt banyak.
dulu masa ana skolah, pun camtu jugak.. sehari makan banyaaaaak, n 3 hari tak makan sgt.. mak ana panggil kitorang ni UNTA! hahaha
aliya, its the same with my 2nd son hamsyari.susah betul nak makan, bila ammi masak lain, dia mintak lain, besok kita masak kan yg dia nak smlm, dia mintak lain pulak. Bila dia dpt hidayah nak makan nasi, dia makan byk betul. then 2-3 hari tanpa nasi boleh.
sandwiches, cereals, biscuits sume tu jelah yg dia nak...
hopefully its a phase. phase boys their age..
macam tak geti pulak nak kasi suggestion. sebab dah tak ingat what haziq was like when he was alone. yang i tau now, everyone wants different thing. haziq wants spaghtetti kalau boleh hari-hari. sya wants somethign supy or noodles with soup jack wants nasi and sambal.
so lantak koranglah, nak makan ke tak nak. kalau lapar, no eating other things! :P but as far as i know u must finish the thing on your plate. tapi i sellau letak sikit aje, mungkin 1-2 sudu nasi, so they will finish it, Insya Allah. kadang2 mintak tambah.
waa. rase cm nak ikut menu layth pulak. boleh diet ni! sorry akak, tak reti juge nak bg suggestion. huhu.
uswah- unta! LOL. tp hanaa montel la jugak. layth ni kurus keding!
kak sara- hehe hopefully it's just a normal phase. yaya dulu tak camtu ke?
lollies- alamak, lagi besar derang lagi pening kepala ke heeheheh. 1-2 sudu nasi je? skit ek. huhu. kalau senduk tu logik gak.
abidah- haha bleh je ikut diet layth ek ek
memang i letak sikit. but 1 senduk for haziq. because i see when they finish and i praised them they like it. lepas tu dia tak perasan pun yang dia makan banyak. soon after that, buila dah establish pattern baru i tambah lebih sikit - half a senduk or something.
tapi makcik tak boleh tolong kalau tak mau makan langsng. my style is no eating cannot proceed to apa2 lah yg nak buat after this. may not be applicable to all children. maybe some kids work better with threats, some with rewards.
i dunno la, but i think that sounds good enough.
i used to be waayyy pickier than that... hehe
