Toddler & eating

How are yall getting yalls babies to eat more meat or just to eat in general ? because I know that toddlers will have their days of eating a whole lot and then not eating that much but here for the past couple months mine does not want to eat really any kind of meat if I cook spaghetti with hamburger, he’ll pick out all the hamburger and only eat pasta. He really only wants pasta all the time and fruit. Which is okay but like some days he won’t eat ANYTHING no matter what I try. then for the past few weeks, he has not been wanting to eat any kind of meat at all and he only wants his milk and I’m trying to get him off of the bottle but that’s all he wants

My son also isn’t a big neater eater but either am I. Give me all the carbs. I look at it as he is getting protein from other sources. If he’s teething at all might be a reason for wanting the liquids or only very soft food

I AM IN THE SAME BOAT OMG

I would try other sources of protein. My besties son went through this and she gave him beans. He loved those! I also try to find other things that have a little extra protein ingredients. Like Greek yogurt, or the brand Kodiak cakes. They'll get to it eventually.

When making spaghetti I take half the meat and blend it into the sauce. We also do tuna noodles because they can’t pick all the pieces out lol. Mine also like to chew on beef jerky

This is just our life now. He’s never really eaten meat and has been very picky from day 1. We are surviving on fruit, whole milk Greek yogurt, hummus, pasta, cheese, crackers, and milk! Sometimes I wonder how he still has energy with how little he eats.

With my 1st I noticed he would avoid meat when a tooth was near breaking the gum. Maybe your son is teething.

I am Sailing similar boat. My toddler just does not want to eat anything

Mine eats nothing

@Amber I didn’t even think about that!! He loves yogurt though😊

@Cheyann my fiance also recommended this (blending it) I do like the beef jerky idea!!

@Haley 💚 he does have one more coming in but it’s more than half way in

I am in the same boat. Whenever we make any type of pasta, he Only eats the noodles. He loves noodles, especially mac n cheese. I just go with it, alot of people say it is a phase. He loves fruit tho so he gets plenty of that (apples, Oranges, grapes)

Halie I just came on here to write an identical post. My daughter is the exact same way right now. All the things she use to love she absolutely refuses over the last two weeks. The other day she ate nothing all day. Like one bite of pasta and nothing else. But wanted milk all day. It’s stressing me out too!!

@Cheri that was mine the other day. He wanted milk all day long. I finally got him to eat some fruit but other than that just milk

My daughter will only eat meals she helps in making and then she eats everything.
