A mum reduced to tears on a daily basis due to her ''fussy'' child's refusal of food has written a recipe guide for other parents - after learning to disguise vegetables and "take the pressure off them both". Grace Mortimer, 29, was left in despair when her two-year-old, Harry, ate only toast and cheese - nothing else.
The mum-of-one even deleted Facebook as she couldn't bear to see pictures of other kids having healthy meals. She would spend sleepless nights scouring the internet for advice but found articles "too distressing" and "felt a failure" after seeing other parents posting about their toddler's ''fancy'' meals.
In his first year of eating, Harry, now six, was quite adventurous but in January 2018, before turning two, his fussiness began to show. After many attempts to get her son to eat fruit and vegetables, Grace finally turned a corner when Harry was three, after she decided to simplify the cooking process and relax her approach to mealtimes.
