She loves cheese. Always has. Be it tasty, fetta, or a really pungent parmesan, she'll eat it by the handful. I classify it as a "healthy" snack, but really, it's full of fat and we all know it. Easier to just ignore that though, given how picky Peggy's become lately. I need to believe that cheese in abundance is good for her!
Lately, she's also been into milk. Requests it a few times a day, and can tell the difference between "Mummy's milk" (skim) and "Peggy's milk" (lite white). Ice cream has always been one of her favourite treats, particularly if it is of the "choc-ate" variety.
Peggy does not like fruit.
I purchase, slice and serve all types - mandarins, kiwi fruit (this is one she is anti than most, she'll at least have a lick), apples, pears, grapes... What else is there in June? I a hoping that once summer comes around and berries and magoes are back in rotation, she'll start a new love affair with those. But I've all but given up on the current fruit selection. I know that you are supposed to keep going, keep trying, keep believing that they'll eat the things you want them to, but really, short of holding her nose, I do not seem able to get her to open her mouth when fruit is on offer.
Cheese is just... easier.
Cheese, and dry Weetbix. These are Peggy staples. With milk on the side.

Cheese is good for her! We have a wholefoods for kids book which completely advocates fatty foods for kids - cheese, whole fat milk + yoghurts, butter, eggs, good oils. The argument being that little kids needs heaps of fat, heaps more than adults. So really keep believing that cheese is good 'cause it is!
We have also had a fussy child and it is indeed a challenge. It seems that at age 4 Olive is coming out of it and will generally eat most things now. Phew. It can be hard.
