Was going through the same thing with my son he will be two on Monday and instead of trying to force him to eat I’ve just been waiting for him to let me know he’s hungry and try to narrow it down and show me what he wants cause I was going through so much food trying things over and over. We also normally give him a pediatric shakes 3-4 times a week but when he’s like this I’m giving him 1-2 a day so he’s still getting protein vitamins and minerals and plenty of fluids
I’m struggling with the same thing with my 2 year old as well. The last 4 days I’ve made 3 different breakfasts, lunch and dinners for her. It’s literally impossible.
Mac n cheese?
We’re going through the same with my two year old! 😩 it really upsets me because I feel that he’s not getting the nutrients he needs! You’re not alone!
Sounds tough! Seems like there’s a lot of pressure built up for you and your toddler at mealtimes. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEXzd4UOt_q/?igsh=MWZlMDJvZjZuNXN1bA==
was gonna come here to say i’m going through the same, but i’m relieved to see nearly everyone here is 🥲 i’ve learned to let my son kinda let me know when he’s hungry, like another girl said. even if im making dinner and he doesn’t want it, and wants animal crackers instead 🤦🏻♀️
Glad I'm not alone my now 2 yo has been doing the same thing the last 3 days no dinner and only wants snacks. On one hand I don't want her eating only snacks but on another she's eating. Mom guilt
Same here. Best of luck to all of us.
My son has been doing the same thing , i serve his food and leave it out on the table . He eats when he wants and aslong as he gets protein in i dont try to stress cs it does get stressful 😭
Our daughter doesn’t really do dinner. I’ve heard if ur able to do an earlier dinner (closer to 3pm) and then snacks the rest of the night helps them get more of a meal in. The thing that works the best to get her to eat is i just make my dinner and I let her eat off my plate (if I were to try and just give her her own dinner or her own plate, she wouldn’t want anything to do with it). But she loves investigating and wanting whatever I have. She usually winds up eating at least some of it and then she still gets a snack before bed.
The same. My almost 2 year old refuses anything that's not milk, chicken, French fries and fruits snacks at this point. I try to offer her other options...she ain't havin' it! I tried to spoon feed her oatmeal this morning, she got so upset.
Same thing, he’s been living off of “snacks” at this point
@Karisa that’s some really good advice. Thank you so much. I’ll try something like that.💕
Going through the same thing been stressed out lately I’m glad I’m not alone

Trying to not pressure and make things more like a fun game helps for us like making the food be an airplane to land in his mouth or pretending he’s a reindeer and and having him crunch on a carrot we’re feeding him. I try to always offer a safe food that I know he likes too. But it is def rough some days 😮💨
Try letting her help you cook and taste the food along the way. I’ve over heard that it’s good for picky eaters.
