Not eating

Cindy

Anyone's else's toddler not eating? I swear my son is living off strawberries, bananas, blueberries and goldfish! He wants nothing else! I can't get him to eat fries, chicken nuggets, pancakes, spaghetti. He used to eat all of that fine a few months ago.

My son goes through phases like this. One day he'll eat and try tons of food and then the next he won't touch anything. He usually doesn't eat much when he's teething! He would much rather eat snacks all day than meals 😂

We haven’t gone through this yet. I did a lot of research when we started foods and all the picky eating experts say don’t talk about their food. At mealtimes we talk about his day not his plate. We also always make sure he has a safe food (something he will always eat) and we don’t pressure him to eat or try things (and he has ALWAYS tired everything I’ve put on his plate!) It’s my job to give him a balanced meal but his job to eat it! Other things we do is he eats what we eat (we don’t offer other options after the menu is set), we eat at the same time, and we always give him more of whatever he asks. And when he says all done I trust that he knows he is full! This has worked SO well for us! And I’m so proud of my hubby bc he came from a ‘clean plate club’ house where he couldn’t leave the table until he finished his food and he is on board and seen how well this works. This is my first babe so maybe we just got lucky, but I love researching toddler topics and following what the experts say!

We do the same but we still have times where he won't try or touch anything on his plate.
