Toodler not eating well
Hey my 22month old is getting so difficult to eat much is anything else dealing with this? All she seems to want is milk? Will eat few bites than say all done. I have tried so many different foods just cant get her to eat some days are better than others has anyone dealt with this and any advice thank you
Yup. If she was a good eater as an infant, she will likely go back to eating more variety by age 4 or 5, which is when they usually get over the picky eating. Just keep offering a healthy balance of carbs, fruits, veggies, and a protein. Three options are good for each meal. Too many options and too much food might be overhwelming. Dont worry its a common "problem" and actually has more to do with normal development than somewthing to worry about. Some things that can help pickiness is to not givin to fastfoods or unhelathy foods, dont forcefeed or "one more bite", dont put pressure like bargaining, begging, skmetimes even rewards can lead to a power struggle although some parents find it to be effective for a short period. Offer meals and snack at the same times everyday and dont stress this. It will get better. Very important: keep mealtime positive, fun, and allow options to foster autonomy. For example: do you want peas or brocoli? Rice or mashed potatos?
