Toddler not eating!
I’m at my wits end. All my toddler wants to eat is cheese sandwich’s and quavers. I give her choices for dinner and she chooses one… then cries when it’s put infront of her. She’s also saying she’s not hungry at dinner time and point blank refusing to eat. I’ve just her dinner infront of her and she’s crying saying “cheese sandwich” 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Someone give me some hope here because I’m on the verge of feeding her sandwiches for life 😅

@Isabelle thank you so much for this! She is always given a meal she likes so I know it’s not that she genuinely doesn’t like it, she kicks off before it’s even touched the table 🤦♀️ hoping it will just take some perseverance and she’ll get past this phase soon 🙃
They say to offer “safe foods” alongside new foods as well. So she can always have something she likes and the opportunity to try new things as well. They learn so much from us so just keep eating the same thing and make it obvious your eating it. That’s what I’ve had to do with my son before

From what I’ve read, They say don’t offer any alternatives. Put dinner down, try and eat with her and all you need to say is “this is what we are having for dinner” and if she doesn’t want to eat it don’t make a big fuss and say “that’s fine” and carry on eating/chatting. She may throw a huge tantrum but she won’t let herself go hungry! Leave it there for her if she wants it. Make take some time but over time she will learn to even just try the food. As soon as we give in as parents they learn to keep screaming until they get what they want. It’s a super hard age isn’t it 😅 hope that helps a bit 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
