Q: 5yr old eating

im a mother of two, and my eldest who is 5yr has a problem with dinner time meals, she is getting to a point where she will not try new things and food she used to love, she wont eat. the only meal she is happy to eat is super noodles. this has been going on for way over a year and is getting worse. im getting very worried and iam now starting to get anxiety of how to tackle it, every time i cook a meal i now she wont eat it. her legs and arms are getting thin but she still has a little belly. i would like to say she does eat lunch times which is sandwiches and some sort of fruit, but she cant live on that alone, my two year old has more on her dinner plate than she does. im very worried as i really dont know how to tackle it any more, i would really appreciate some advice on where to go for help, and would be very greatful on some advice of what to do.

thank you Crying or Very sad

every child goes through a picky stage and let me tell you Nephew was the worst. When he was about the same age as your daughter he was Majorly picky.When he was younger he ate almost anything. but as he got older he changes. He would never try new foods and would only eat sugary things and nothing else. We all worried but his doctor reassured that this is normal, and he will eventually grow out of it. And he did but it took a few years for him to come around.
what does her doctors say? I know if you are worried that she isnt getting enough try pediasure, maybe she will be up to try that.
