It is very important that when you have a fussy eater you have a good support network around you and that you are all working off the same page. If you decide to tackle the issue of fussy eating you should sit down with all the childs caregivers and lay out exactly what you want to achieve and how that is going to happen and how they can help you. If even just one person is not on board then it will not work.
My ex husband was not at all helpful, if he came home and Aby was screaming blue murder because there was something other than chicken nuggets and chips on her plate then he would automatically go and make her what she wanted, completely undermining me and what I was trying to do.
Also a support network will make you feel less alone, you can talk to those around you if times get tough or if you make a big break through (even if it is "xxx ate a mouthful of brocolli!"). It is important to choose carefully those you trust to help you achieve your goal, if you are in any doubt as to wether a person will really help you or not, don't use them for meal times, just send the child to them at other times during the day and when the goal is reached they can go back to that person. If not the whole "operation" will not succeed because the child will know that they can always get their own way else where.
Good luck and remember get a support network, talk to them, and then act!
