Fussy with food

It could be a power / control thing. She may not feel in control at the dinner table, and the wetting could be a manifestation of that (something she can control). Do you typically let her choose whether or not to eat?

What do you mean by power/control? And manifestation of it? And I choose what she eats, always has done. Like I said she’s never had a problem and she’s always been a very good eater.

I would add that this is just a guess - I don't know your daughter or every facet of her life. If there is some random thing like starting day care or a move, or life change, that could be a factor. I'm only basing this on the information you've given.

I always convince her to eat and wil try everything but she just get more and more wound up and that’s when she’ll start throwing her food.

How often is she at nursery? X

To do take her plate away after she has chosen that she not going to eat it but then she doesn’t get any pudding either. Am dont want her to think that she can choose not to have her tea but she can have pudding

My little girl is 22 months and has always been a bad eater for a range of reasons. Things we have been advised -

Allow her to make choices in what she eats, so we give 2 options that she picks from

Always offer a safe food that I know she’ll eat, alongside anything new or unfamiliar or that’s been rejected

Always still offer a ‘pudding’ (fruit and yoghurt usually), food isn’t used as a reward

Don’t offer an alternative to the meal you’ve provided, but if you feel they have eaten very little through the day you can offer a ‘supper’ later so it’s a ‘new’ meal not an alternative

If she says she’s done then that’s fine, the meal is finished with no pressure at all, even if she’s eaten nothing

That’s helpful thanks. The only one I don’t stand is pudding. I feel that if she made the decision of not want to eat her food she needs to realised that she doesn’t get pudding. I was raised that way so I stand by it. If you give them pudding after they haven’t eaten the they are just going to get in a routine of keep refusing so they can have the good stuff

It’s all way no dinner no dessert, the wetting I know she must of done though frustration and I will never punish her for that. I try and get her to eat the food but she just doesn’t listen she can be very stubborn. But it’s all foods she’s eaten and loved so I don’t understand why do doesn’t eat it.

Mine does that too. However I’m having other issues with mine . That are related to something she has. So I would just try to be patient
