She'll just clamp her mouth shut & refuse..wont let me feed her..wont feed herself..she has a early 12pm lunch & 5.30pm sometimes 6pm dinner so should be plenty hungry enough.
I think..how are u not hungry its been ages!
We try lots of different dinners.she's good with brekki and lunch but dinner is hit and miss.
She'll have a light snack about 2.30 but nothing that would fill her up so she didnt eat dinner.
Just curious to know what u all do..i end up making her a sandwhich & fruit platter just to get food in her when she refuses dinner.
I guess if she was hungry enough she would eat dinner.

My little girl was a great eater till a month of two ago. She picks at food now and spits things out a lot more depending on texture and sometimes doesn’t eat dinner.. I end up giving her wetabix and banana not long before bed so she is full xx she always eats that lol

It’s tricky. Maybe follow solid starts I know they had advice on that a couple months ago but I forgot it.

I always give my daughter something else if she refuses her meal as I’d rather her have a full belly and sleep through than go to bed hungry and wake in the night x

Is she past hunger at this point? Our little one has tea at 4 with nursery so we try and mimic this but on the odd occasion we eat later he throws the food and point blank refuses 😫 usually if we follow the nursery schedule he will at least give the meals a go.
If he does refuse, we don’t offer an alternative. We leave the table then half hour later try again. If it can’t be reheated, we give him weetabix before bed so we know he’s had something

Im having to distract mine with some small toys at the moment. I would do a small snack at 3 or 3.30 to keep her going in your case so she isnt too hungry to eat a bit like being overtired

My LO is doing this atm too, it seems to be phases where he does it for a few weeks, then has a good few days and then the cycle repeats.
When he was younger I could get away with feeding him weetabix as a last alternative but now he’s older he just refuses even the weetabix and turns his head, anything I try to feed him with a spoon tbh
