Not eating enough

Maybe less snacks in between lunch and dinner ? Or make snack more nutritious so that even if he doesn’t eat dinner, he’s still hitting his daily values. Also is he teething ? That could cause him to eat less frequently.

Do you usually feed him foods that he has to bite off of versus cutting them into small bite-sized pieces? I only ask because of the pancake. I tried BLW with my daughter, but she always bit off more than she could chew and would choke, so I’ve been cutting foods into small bite-sized pieces since 6 months and she’s a champion eater (maybe over eats, which I worry about). I wonder if that might be a reason he doesn’t eat a lot? I could be way off, and maybe you already cut most meals up, but I thought I’d ask!

I’m struggling to get him to eat veg he will eat anything bar veg. He doesn’t snack a lot but if he doesn’t eat alot then I offer snacks for peace of mind

hey. No I don’t always give him stuff like that. It was just a huge pancake and I had to get a photo 😂 he’s really good with his food most of the time but if he has lunch he won’t eat his tea. If he only has a tiny lunch he will eat his tea but it’s such a big gap inbetween them. Iv always offered him whole foods which is why he is so good with his chewing. If he bites to much off he will always take some out his mouth xx

they make pouches that are the full daily value of fruits and veggies! You can also try hiding veggies in sauces and other foods by smashing/ putting them in the food processor if you have one. What time is dinner usually ? It may just be too close to lunch time and he’s still full? Especially if you typically give him a hearty lunch.

I literally just asked my pediatrician this and she said they know how much they want to eat some days its going to be like they are starving and other days its going to be like shes living of air..she said just for us to provide the food and she will eat a lil or a lot but its all on her

Also she said their stomach are as big as their palm

Girl! Mine was doing the same things for like a month and it was stressful. But! Now she’s better at eating. I tried different recipes and I think they just go through their little phases. One thing that has helped relieve my stress about her nutrient intake is smoothies! I’ll make her a mid day smoothies with fruits and veggies and hemp protein with her vitamins and she’s all about it 😊
