Not eating

Mine eats but sometimes refuses to eat meals and rather snack

Mine does that sometimes but he will only eat nuggets or pizza nothing else ._.

Mine definitely has gotten more picky, but last time he was on full on food strike it was because he was constipated! During the food strike I was generally able to get him to eat light things like fruit, yogurt & Cheerios but not much else. Luckily as soon as the constipation resolved he started eating normally again.

I’m in the same boat with my
Daughter she will only eat mac n cheese, pizza and occasionally chicken nuggets and nothing eles

My doctor gave me the advice of “they won’t die” so yes it’s frustrating but they are fine. They’ll eat when they are hungry. Just don’t wake me up at 5:00 am bc you didn’t eat your dinner! 😂

It makes me feel better knowing I’m not alone thank you 🫶🏻 hopefully our toddlers get passed this stage soon!

Just keep offering healthy options like veggies and dip for snacks and ham and cheese and crackers on a snack plate. Mine like that when they’re going through picky stages. Just don’t give in to the idea of them just eating nuggets pizza and Mac. If you don’t buy it and offer it they won’t eat it a when they are truly hungry they will eat what they want from their meals. Remember toddler calories are often over the span f the week not just the day so if they’re eating like birds most days but then will eat like a mini footballer one day just realize they are evening themselves out. Especially if they are in normally good spirits and don’t seem bothered by the lack of food. If they seem moody and irritable they are probably needing more of their macros. Good fast even faux and chips can be good mine will devour quac but sometimes won’t even touch avocado slices. They like their cukes sprinkled with salt and sometimes meals that are too mushy and mixed have made my oldest nauseated haha

They’re going through a phase of preferences and changing tastes and textures. But again keep focusing on healthy foods and maybe once a week do mac or nuggets or do them together so there’s more balance with the protien. But for the rest of the meals make sure they are well seasoned and appeal to their tastes not just plain because things like pizza nuggets and Mac usually have a lot of flavours going on.

I had the same issue, I started giving her "milkshakes" which are actually orgain toddler protein drinks. She loves them and at least she is getting more nutrients and im not as worried if she dosent finish her meal or barely eats. I will only give her 1 a day though.

Mines does this specifically for dinner. I found that she was drinking to much liquid and snacking to much before. So i had to kind of starve her for like 2 hours before meal and she started eating! There are some foods she is no go with but atp i always have a back up meal for miss picky
