I have a 19 month old that I am struggling with for eating but yes just tell the parents what was served and what little of it she actually ate. She was really good at eating most foods till she got pneumonia in the winter and was really sick for a week. This child is underweight to begin with so could not afford to go without food so it became a struggle just to get anything into her and mom catered. Not upset about that because I agree it was necessary - ie soft foods, easily swallowed with little effort required because she could barely breath to take longer to swallow, etc.

Now that she is better mom has not insisted on her going back to her regular diet and child is holding out so instead of eating apple slices they have to be softened in the microwave with brown sugar and cinnamon - yes I like that too but at daycare lunch they come raw and sliced and too bad. Right now she eats NO fruits or vegetables, No juice, about 4 meat choices and of course anything carbs. I don't stress it and mom just makes up for lack of eating lunch at supper which again just complicates the learning to eat all foods again so it is a constant circle. At least she is cheap to feed because I only give her one slice of each to stare at during the meal.
