The House of Tiny Tearaways
Family Three: Eating
Μύ
Nicky (30), Paul (35) and Lewis (two years and
nine months) from West Sussex
Μύ
Lewis doesn't eat complete meals and hates lumps.
Μύ
With food that Lewis will eat, he tends to be very fussy.
Lewis doesn't really enjoy drinking any fluids, and his entire liquid
intake is one bottle of juice per day.
Μύ
Though he is capable, Lewis refuses to feed himself
and he doesn't like sitting in his high chair.
Μύ
Sleeping has recently become a big issue: he wakes five
or six times a night. Some nights, Paul and Nicky will only get two
to three hours' sleep.
Μύ
Nicky works in the evening as an insurance claims handler
– she admits that she lavishes Lewis with too much attention during
the day.
Μύ
Paul has a nine-to-five job working in customer services
for a gas and electricity supplier. He wants to be more assertive with
Lewis, and wishes that they hadn't been so soft with him in the first
place.
Μύ
Ostensibly, Nicky and Paul seem like the perfect couple
- but they are actually both very anxious and over-protective of Lewis.
