A. Hi mommy It is normal for children to be fussy eaters that is to not like the taste shape colour or texture of particular foods It is also normal for children to like something one day but dislike it the next day to refuse new foods and to eat more or less from day to day This all happens because fussy eating is part of children’s development it is a way of exploring their environment and asserting their independence And it’s also because children’s appetites go up and down depending on how much they are growing and how active they are
