Having a hard time getting two year old to eat much

Do you eat with him ? We recently moved and since being able to sit and eat meals together my daughter eats so much better , she used pick at food and barely touch it just a few weeks ago. I make us breakfast lunch and dinner together , helped us lots ,

I will try that! Was it a hard switch? He has one of those little tables to eat at bc he rarely wants to sit still in his highchair

@Colie honestly it was super smooth , we have a dinner table at our house now but I honestly think just sitting with her and eating when she does has been the main thing , I used to just make meals for her and I would snack , so I think her seeing me do so has encouraged her too aswell x x

Apperantly it’s normal after they wean for them to be super disinterested in food for the first week-ish (my peds told me) they’re body is adjusting to feeling a different kind of hungry or something like that. My son would eat nothing but two crackers a day for like three days when I weened him off bottles and I was in tears on the phone with the office asking if something was wrong. So embarrassed thinking about it now 😅 We did what Sophie suggested and ate together, I also continuously offered snacks. Homemade popsicles with “hidden” veggies also made me feel better about him getting some actual Whole Foods in his system

Any chance you could shoot me a recipe for the popsicles?

you're definitely not alone! my little one was super picky too, and honestly, I just tried to make mealtime fun with different colors and shapes, like, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't, but it helped take the pressure off a bit! 😊 I actually checked the 'Heal App' for this and here's what it says: "You're definitely not alone in this, and it's completely normal for toddlers to go through phases of selective eating and grazing. To encourage your son to eat more, try offering small, appealing portions of a variety of foods at regular meal times, and make mealtime a relaxed, enjoyable experience. You can also involve him in food preparation, which might spark his interest in trying new things. Additionally, consider setting a routine where meals and snacks are offered at consistent times, so he knows when to expect food. Remember, it's important to be patient and avoid pressure, as this can create negative associations with eating.
