Picky eater!!

Comment Published at 20:3420:341 comments1 comments10 Visits10 VisitsReport

Does anyone else get anxiety when it comes to feeding your toddler? My 12 month old is such a picky eater! When I find something that she will eat I feel like I give it to her too much! But just when I think she likes it, it ends up getting thrown on the floor!! I worry that she isn't getting her daily need of veggies whole grains and other essentials. I try to keep meals exciting and new, but nothing seems to work. I swear, some days the only thing she will let in her mouth is milk and goldfish crackers!! I would love any advice!

Re: Picky eater!!

Welcome to Minti!

You are definitely in for a big battle and it does get worse. Being picky with food usually start around 18 months and it just becomes a battle from there.  My suggestion is to stick with the few healthy foods that your baby does eat. And put  something new in the plate. Toddlers have to see the food for a while before they will ever try it. So don't keep introducing something new everyday.

Also, if your baby eats veggies one day a week, and meats another day a week, I will consider that pretty good. They don't need to eat every single food group in one sitting.

Good luck! It sounds like you're doing good... even if it is frustrating.  :)
