20 months toddler eating nothing

Do you emulate the meals he has at daycare? Like try using similar plates, the same foods and the way they serve it?

It’s incredibly common for toddlers to eat perfectly at daycare but refuse meals at home, peer pressure and routine work wonders there! Since he eats well at daycare, you know he has the appetite.

Here are a few quick things to try at home:
- Replicate the daycare setup: Try family-style serving (letting him scoop his own) or using a similar seating/plate routine.
- Pair fruit with the meal: Serve his favorite fruit with the main meal instead of as a backup later, so the plate feels safe.
- Do you eat alongside him? Sitting down to eat the exact same food at the same time can take the pressure off and encourage him to copy you.
