Yess. They go through phases
Yes, same, but then we started him in daycare last week and he’s eating again watching the other kids do the same. I think it’s helping to make him less picky again!
Yesss, or she’ll take like 10 years to eat.honestly if she doesn’t want a full meal i give her a pouch whether it’s applesauce or yogurt. I give her something i know she will eat. It may not be healthy all the time but as long as something is in her belly it’s a win for me😂
Ours eats really well for 2 days and then has a day of barely eating. He’s also gotten VERY picky when he used to eat anything. As others have mentioned it is likely just a phase. Or it could be teething with first molars coming in? Especially if he’s still wanting a popsicle it might be soothing his gums.
Yes. I feel like this also started after we stopped nursing as well, could be a coincidence though. I noticed he’s in his independent phase, so he doesn’t want to be fed. Ever since I’ve allowed him to sit at the big table with us not in his high chair and give him utensils to feed himself, he’ll eat a bit more than he has been, but still not back to normal. Our ped warned us about a month before it happened they he will go through the toddler diet phase, but when he goes through another grow spurt, he’ll grow out of it. I’m also not changing our food offering much anymore. I went through offering him anything he’ll eat but we’re back to offering what we eat.
@Riss I was doing this, but after a couple of weeks I noticed he’ll hold out for snacks. And tell me why he suddenly knows how to say “snack” 🤣🤣. So I no longer offer another option. I know if he’s hungry, he really will eat. So I offer his dinner a few times and we’re actively trying to avoid too many extra snack per his pediatricians request. My son is also 99th percentile, so she’s not too concerned about him being picky.
Girl yes you are not alone. For the past few weeks she doesn't want any breakfast and barely eats at other meals. We really do about 2 meals and then snacks. My daughter wont eat any fruit and she used to love it
@Alexis oh no he got smart😂😂. yeah luckily mine hasn’t figured that out yet, i do the same thing and offer it later if she doesn’t eat at her normal dinner time. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. My daughter was a preemie so she’s still tiny so if anything i try and fix one big meal for her it’s usually breakfast 😂 girl will eat a pancake in seconds
We just went through this at 17 months and about 2 weeks ago he took a turn and is eating everything and more again!
Yep same, mine is not bothered to eat too. He eats at daycare but not at home.
they don’t eat as much when they’re not going through a growth spurt!
I make a snack plate and leave it on the coffee table she will pick at it throughout the day and typically finishes most of it by the end of the day
Yes and then she will wake up in the morning middle of the night wanting food 😭
same here, i try to give him his favorites when this happens and sometimes he’ll eat it and sometimes he’ll just fully be done like handing me his plate saying all done lol it should pass! just try to let him have whatever it is he will eat in the meantime 🤞🏽 offer more snacks if he’s not eating much too

Going through this now. He will eat yogurt and waffles and that’s about it now. I still make his regular food for meals to see if he’ll eat any of them, but once he refuses, I just give him his yogurt and waffles. I try mixing in some peanut butter so he’s getting alittle bit more out of it. I try not to fight it too much.
The opposite kind of he eats so much and has started refusing to drink breastmilk at daycare
YESSSSS. My daughter only eats dinner and then acts like I haven’t fed her two meals and a million snacks previously in the day
