Eating

Just wondering if anyone is going through something similar… Dinner time! Absolute hell. Everything I seem to make recently I get told “I don’t like it” sometimes without her even trying it. She’ll take a few bites or will just eat the veg for example and won’t even touch the rest because she “doesn’t like it” when it’s 9/10 stuff I make because I know she likes it 😩😩😩 I’m losing the will here and struggling with what more I can do. I’m trying to make a point that if she doesn’t eat her dinner she doesn’t get a treat after but even that doesn’t work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated x

Omg, that is my little girl to a T! Says exactly the same “I don’t like it” even though she’s had it before! 🫠🫠🫠 does your girl go nursery?

Same here ... everything mines used to love it .. now hates ... it's just fase . My stress levels went through through roof .. 2 months ago .. now I gave up .. she eats when she is bloody hungry. That's it ..

@Joanne no wayyy! Well I’m glad it’s just not me🤣 yeah she goes to a childminder Monday-thursday so not sure if it’s to do with tiredness or what

@Tania well this is where I’m at now really, I feel like giving up! I can’t cook several different dinners till she eats something and like you said she’ll eat when she’s hungry! I’m trying to make a point that she doesn’t get a treat if she don’t eat her dinner but doesn’t seem to sink in just yet 😫

@Lauren I’m wondering if they picked it up from other kids?! My little one is also obsessed with “it hurts” over anything. But she also moans her knee hurts when she’s had a busy long day - making me think growing pains!(I got them terrible when I was little). It’s always a guessing game isn’t it, and the phases just keep changing 😂🫠 I don’t give her anything else if she doesn’t eat her tea, but sometimes an hour or so later I’ll give her a banana haha! For my sanity more than hers, makes me think at least she’s eaten 🫠😅

My daughter is the same. Starting to get tough with her now! If she doesn't eat it, there's nothing else. My almost 4 year old went through a similar phase at this age and she had the same tough love. She's now an amazing eater, so I'm holding out that my youngest will go the same way! Weight wise, my daughter is healthy and full of energy, so I'm not worried she's lacking in calories.

My little girl is the same! Its beyond a joke now so i make it, put it down and if she wants it then good, if not then she doesn’t have anything. I will sometimes give her a yoghurt or some fruit just so shes had something but we have had times where shes only had one bite of something and wont have anything else. Im so stuck on what to make her now 🙈🫠 shes also a snack monster x
