- Getting your child to eat is a special kind of challenge, because despite the fact that a healthy diet is so important to their development, ultimately the choice is theirs to make.
As parents, we try our best to get our kids to eat healthy foods, but we usually reach a point where we would rather give them something they'll eat rather than letting them go hungry. So we give in and make something not-so-healthy, but something we know they'll eat.
Today, I've got some great information for you about kids' nutritional needs, as well as some tips for helping them make healthy choices on their own, try some new foods, and restore happy mealtimes to your dinner table.
So glad I found this video. My 2 yr old would rather have a bottle of milk than food. He has milk with each meal but doesn't eat alot of real food
I am happy to hear that i am not the only one feeling whenever my son doesnt eat.
My 20 month old doesn't want to sit on his highchair and starts screaming.He refuses to eat without screen time. I don't know what to do. He's becoming a tyrant and the least I want to do is force him because that'll traumatize him. He eats so well if I let him watch tho. But I really want him to feed himself.
thank you so much for the tips..I feel my son is the exact twin of yours in terms of eating habits..ur videos are always a help..😃😄
I ACCEPT your challenge! My 15 month old eats about 6 bites of food total a day!! She loves cucumbers and seaweed but that is it! I have tried almost everything but no change. She still nurses but not enough to gain much weight. From month 12 to month 15 she has not gained any weight!! I feel like a failure and cry myself to sleep every night. If you look at her, you would not think anything is wrong because she hits all of her milestones, she is very smart, sleeps well, and has lots of energy. This solid rejection has lead me into depression. Any advice? I am open to all advice.
What about fruits? You can increase her calories by adding heavy cream or butter to her meals.
@@FetaSake she likes most fruits but not enough of it to gain any weight. She dislikes cream and butter unfortunately. So I will try sneaking some coconut milk here and there and she will just take one sip or bite and it's over. Now, i am just working on trying to make mealtime without any distractions. See how that goes.
My 16 months old son doesn't eat anything just biscuit for him. My wife is so depress because he won't eat anything at all.
@@hakunamatata7413 hi! So now I have a 18 month old and it is MUCH better but it took a lot of work. Does your child still nurse or drink milk?
@@bluebear2301 his mother still breastfeed him that's the only thing that make him stop crying. He's such a cry baby and nurses every now and then to his mom.
My 22 month old toddler still has blended food and refuses to take in any solid...he would chew on it and then throw it out....what do i do?? It's really overwhelming😔😔
I just wait for my toddler to say she wants to eat. I tried forcing her and tried eating in front of her and anything and everything to get her to eat but of course none of it worked so now if she's hungry, she has to get my attention or else she goes hungry and it's on her. Sounds harsh but it works! My only problem is she likes junk food which was my mistake to ever give to her but it's just so easy to give a baby something sweet or unhealthy when they're acting up and now it's a problem.
I truly get that as a dad. I am trying to break any habits like that with my son and it's slowly working
My problem is my 2yr has ALL control for what she wants I’ve been trying, not forcing but putting 3 options 1 that’s familiar and she just kicks and screams that’s she wants down. She will literally only eat strawberries rice and soup I NEED HELP
N also he would feed milk very frequently.every two hours.
My daughter is 11.5 months old, she takes forever to eat vs being a picky eater. She is still being breastfed but soon I'll be weaning her off of it and was wondering how long do I allow her to eat if I were to offer food every 2 hours? On avg it takes 1 hour for meals.
Same story!
My 1st kid was the same!
What i did wrong was i kept feeding her for one long hour to make sure she finishes her portion
Now she's 8 years old and she doesn't like the topic Food!
So my dear friend please don't feed your child more than 20 minutes
Set an alarm
Do it for a week and letme know
Coz it's tried and tested!
After 20 mins our brain signals to the body to stop eating coz the stomach feels full and the kid is not hungry.
Only if we ever listened to our bodies truly!
I’m in big big big trouble with my baby. He is 2.6 years old can chew but he only eat blended rice with vegetables for 3 times in a day
I try all the time if he eat something new but he just doesn’t want to eat if onece I force him he vomit all. Whiteout his type of blended food he doesn’t eat anything
I am in the same boat. My 21 months old eats fruits veg puree. 1st stage baby food. He doesn't eat textured foods.
I am also in the same way of worrying. My 2.4 years old baby does not want to anything. He does not chew anything but he can. He does not like even milk. I have to force all time to take food. He is only 10kg. Do not know how to evercome this situation.
on the bright side, blended rice and veg is very healthy. there are worse foods he could only eat. but I hope he is doing better now.
Farhana Rahman Hows your baby doing now . I am dealing with the same issue with my son . Hoping that he’ll get better by the time But I always worried about his nutrition level intake . Can you please advice
Hi.my 13 month eats rarely n have egg,milk and soy allergy.i breastfeed him exclusively.i tried a lot of food options with him but he will just not eat.Also he hates his high chair,the chair is very comfortable.he used to sit on it when he was 6-8 months but he just does not like it now.so I just spread a sheet on floor n try to feed him.He would just crush food between his fingers or play with it ,but won’t eat .he is also teething.
My 20 month old doesn't like his highchair too. I gave up and feed him in the living room with the tv on because he will not open his mouth without screen time. It's frustrating.
My son is 3 yrs old and he eats only 2-3 things. White boiled Rice and French fries. i am really worried what to do he don't any thing.
@Ayesha Syed as he taste the food start spitting. We try several ways.
Has it gotten better? I'm in the same situation.
@@bluebear2301 Yes, getting better all thanks to my wife, who puts lots of efforts, now my son eating chicken, banana several types of biscuit and nuggets. But Good thing he only drink water and milk, no other things.
She boycott him from mobile and other TV stuff and focused on playing with him and feeding while playing games such as puzzle, magnet puzzle, blocks etc.
