Eating

Can anyone give me tips and tricks on how to get my 1 year old stubborn daughter to eat food!? Ever since she was a baby she would refuse to eat and to this day she is still like that! She will refuse water, juice and pediasure! The only thing she is intaking is her whole milk! I never had to deal with this with my two year old daughter and or with my 1 year old twin sister Amelia who loves to eat! I feel like a mom who is failing and doesn’t know what the heck she is doing! I feel like I am about to have a breakdown! I have so much on my plate when it comes to these girls and their different issues! I love my babies to death and I just want what’s best for them! Sometimes I feel they are better off without me and them be with a mom who knows how to really take care of kids how they should be taken care of! Please if anyone could give me any type of advice on how to get Ryleigh to eat food I would greatly appreciate it! I am lost and dumbfounded at this point!

Show your support

Maybe some advice on you tube may help showing her you're enjoying your food may make her intrigued? Also making it fun like into a face or something may help/make it into a game how many strawberries can you fit onto your fork

Sit her on your lap while you eat let her play with and try bites of “your” food! My 15m old loves to share like that when she’s being fussy about eating but will happily eat from my plate with me :)

@Lindsay I tried everything with her. I tired not giving her any milk at all per doctors orders and still she refuses to eat. It’s like how in the heck can she grow properly and reach her milestones like she should if she is refusing to eat food. She locks her lips shut, puts her hands in front of her face and pushes our hands away. It’s hard to give her medication because all she does is the same thing she does with food and when I go to put it on the side of her cheek all she does is spit it out. She’s 16 months old and hasn’t had a taste of any kind of food. She somehow and someway has a negative association with food. It has been an ongoing situation since she was 5-6 months old.

That's tough maybe a child eating specialist could help

She’s in feeding therapy she has been in that since last year and it seems like that’s not helping at all either. I hope when we got to Morgantown, West Virginia they can figure out why she isn’t eating for.
