How can I get my 2 year old son to eat better?

He is a very fussy eater and prefers drinking milk to eating.

He has cereal for breakfast which he doesn't always eat. The rest of the day is a battle of wills to get him to eat something.

He has now started to refuse to eat foods he used to enjoy.

All he will eat(sometimes)is pasta with cheese sauce, chips, beans on toast, fromage frais and Marmite sandwiches.

Today he has only eaten a couple of spoonfuls of cereal and milk. He has refused everything else. Any suggestions?

Eating is often a weapon children use so don't get uptight. Wait until he is hungry and asks to eat and then try to give him healthy but tasty food. But don't allow the meal to be a confrontation between you and he.

I have a 2-year old that only eats noodles, crackers, chicken nuggets, toast, and waffles. He loves to drink whole-milk and prefers to drink it rather than eat. I don't fight it. When I offer him veggies, fruit, or any other kind of food, he just shakes his head and says "no thanks." Today I tried to put canned fruit on a spoon he was using and he asked, "clean spoon?" He is at the right weight and even tall for his height. He's very healthy, so I don't worry so much, especially after reading all these replies!
