Parents, nutritionists, pls. Help me. This DD of mine is 3yrs and 5months old, yet she refuses to eat anything but Golden morn,beverage(milo) and hot dog. She is now so skinny and I am oftem embarrassed by her fragility.I am so unhappy. I earn above average for the financial service provider where I work. All this toiling, yet this girl refuses to eat anything healthy. Pls. Help with useful suggestions since all our trips to the clinic's nutritionist has yielded no results.

No cause for alarm. My son too is 3yrs and he does not eat any other food apart from golden morn before but now he can eat any type of food. What I did was that wenever his dad is eating I will ask him to join his dad and since then he has develop interest in solid food. So I will advice u to try dis method try eating together with her with time she will get use to other food.

That's a good trick and very useful tip.
Not good if such children rely so much on processed food. Try and go natural with solid food which you are used to.

Very normal!
All that would change soon. . . from age 6!
If not. . . check with you doctor.

No need to panic, my boy was like that before, we took him to hospital severally, yet, as usual, "hes normal, no problem" is d usual report we constantly get from d doctors. At a stage, i just decided to hold my peace, hoping to change when it is due, right now, to d glory of God, he eats so much that im almost tempted to call him a glutton, so its d stage they are, she will soon outgrow that stage and u will not have cause to panic again.
Let me share some of d things we were told while visiting d hospital because of him:
1. Try to find out his best solid food and never be too tired or busy to prepare it for her.
2. Replace puff-puff or any other flour fry-fry with bean cake(akara), she will get more protein from this than from flour.
3. Ensure an egg a day, for adequate of protein.
4. If there are other kids around, serve them together, let her eat while others are eating, she will definately be interested in eating at d same time with them.
5. If there are no other kids around, eat together with her, she will like it.
6. Sometimes, u need to be firm, u can sometimes refuse to give her d junks, insisting that she should eat, if u can do that for about 2-3 times, when she is really hungry, next time, she will take you serious and adhere to your request, try it.
7. Always involve her when you want to start preparing food, ask her, "what do you want us to eat tonight", she will be more interested in d meal, when she is involved.
These are d few ones i can remember from d counselling we received then.
May God help us all and may our efforts on them never be in vain.
Goodluck.
