Is it normal for toddlers not to eat a lot just in bites? Feeling defeated Description below

Question

I tried to encourage my one year old to eat but, not forcefully I heard that would cause them not to eat it at all. I would make her breakfast example scrambled eggs, waffles ect, she would take a bite and throws it on the floor. I’ll try and give it to her but, she shakes her head no. I am feeling defeated seems like she barely eats but, am trying. I am a first time mom. Is this normal?

Answer

Yes. They do this. 
Try following Feeding Littles and New Ways Nutrition on Instagram. So helpful!!

My daughter was the same way for pretty much the entire time she was 1. She’s 2 and 3 months now and it’s slowly getting better. Yeah, it just seemed like she would just eat a few bites per meal. It drove me crazy and I was always concerned she wasn’t eating enough. I’m trying very hard to just remember she’ll eat when she’s hungry, and not put too much pressure on her to eat a lot at every meal.

Answer

I'm here with ya momma! 
My girl is 12 months and doesn't eat. She started to refuse her baby food at 8 months. 
Still only getting a couple bites in but still trying at every meal. 
The only thing we can get her to eat more than a few bites (most of the time) are fries and chicken. And even thats like at most 10 bites total 😒
Some days she doesn't eat anything at all. Not even 1 bite..and i feel bad. Like I know you're hungry JUST EAT.
