Now, at almost 3, she only eats a handful of foods and only when *she* chooses to eat them. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2536562 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 01:18:27 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2536562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 3.5. She used to eat everything before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2536497 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 21:51:39 +0000 Winterbee15 2536497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS got pickier around 13 months. He would eat anything and everything before. Now he's much less interested in vegetables. He eats the most at breakfast so I pile up his tray :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2536467 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 20:53:31 +0000 Mae 2536467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She started picky, ate better around a year, worse for a while from maybe 15-18 mo, then better again. At 2 she is a good eater (for a kid) but I expect there will be more ups and downs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2536416 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 19:37:09 +0000 mfa_lady 2536416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's 16 months and started getting pickier around a year. She's still a good eater but I can definitely see a decline in the things she'll eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2536394 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 19:06:09 +0000 sandy 2536394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right around 2.5 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2536375 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 18:45:57 +0000 hilsy85 2536375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 16 months. I remember at his 12 month appt, the pedi said "He will probably eat more now than he will at 18 months" and I thought she was joking. But nope, 18 months rolled around and he was existing off two bites of yogurt and some crackers every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2536313 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 17:31:16 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2536313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe around 15 months? At 19 months now DD only likes cheese, oranges, mac &amp; cheese, pasta. She maaaaaybe takes a bite of other food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2536079 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 13:33:24 +0000 peachykeen 2536079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD has always eaten everything, but she has gotten a little more unpredictable starting around... 16 months, maybe? I think it's more her exerting control over her decisions rather than disliking the food, though. We'll see how long til that part starts... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2536032 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 13:02:17 +0000 snowjewelz 2536032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like.. 14-15 months? DD is 16 months now and definitely became more picker than when she was before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2536024 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 12:53:54 +0000 kes18 2536024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say gradually as well but started around 15mo with her not wanting to be told what to do. My DD (2) eats most things at daycare and even vegetables sometimes (peer pressure!) but not at home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2536021 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 12:52:09 +0000 skipra 2536021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 was picky from the very beginning but got significantly worse after a year and a half to two years. Prior to that we could distract him and get him to eat different things but once he became more aware and only fed himself it became really really hard.<br /> LO2 will usually at least try anything. He's always been a good eater and I hope it continues! He is just about 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2536020 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 12:52:04 +0000 catlady 2536020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been gradual. At 2.5, I think she probably still eats well compared to most other kids her age, but it seems like she is always "losing" things that she will eat. Like last night, she wouldn't eat meat sauce with her pasta (previously, she loved it). We just keep offering though and sometimes she starts eating things again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2536016 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 12:51:04 +0000 Raindrop 2536016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me it was around 2-3 I can't remember exactly. I mean he would always not finish everything I gave him but I think at 3 (when he started really talking a lot), he finally said he didn't want ANYTHING I gave him and wanted something else. Also refused to try new things.</p> <p>He a little over 4 and has started trying new things again... hopefully it's just a phase! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2536017 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 12:51:04 +0000 Alba4 2536017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS got picky around 2. He is 2.5 and he is slowly open to try new foods and more veggies. He used to eat everything and anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2536014 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 12:50:36 +0000 KayKay 2536014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 just turned 4, and she has gotten significantly pickier in the last 3-4 months. When she was younger she might be particular on a certain day (e.g., maybe she just didn't feel like pasta one day), but generally would eat most things. She is still pretty good for a preschooler, but has gotten more vocal about not liking things that she used to eat just fine. Honestly, I think some of it is social learning....like most of her classmates don't like X, so she says she doesn't like X either. </p> <p>DD2 (17m) has always been pickier than DD1 ever was.</p> <p>I grew up a very picky eater (especially re: textures), so I've always been waiting for the other shoe to drop with DD1 :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2536009 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 12:47:06 +0000 MrsF 2536009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: ditto! M ate everything until she was 3. J is already picky (carbs please!) at 17 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2536008 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 12:45:05 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2536008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2.5, just when I thought we were in the clear </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2536005 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 12:40:43 +0000 psw27 2536005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably around 13-14 months! At 21 months he's getting back to trying more things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2535995 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 12:36:03 +0000 lovehoneybee 2535995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me it was once he started daycare at 19 months. He had SUCH an open palate before that, but once he started eating more kid-friendly food that he didn't get at home he suddenly became very picky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2535992 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 12:35:27 +0000 autumnlove 2535992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around 14-16 months for LO 1 &amp; 2. They ate everything before that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-to-be-picky-about-food#post-2535986 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 12:30:01 +0000 raspberries 2535986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 9 months old and has eaten absolutely every single thing we've given to him - I'm positive this won't last forever, haha. When did your LO start rejecting food or only wanting to eat certain things? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-cloth-diaper-mamas/page/2#post-549454 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 18:11:43 +0000 FancyGem 549454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started at about 2weeks pp. We have a variety of brands all of team are one size. I like greenbees and rump apropos the most. Both brands were good for my baby (he is off the charts for weight and 90+% for everything else). Plus, greenbees diapers are $6 for solids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-cloth-diaper-mamas/page/2#post-443514 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 16:28:41 +0000 lolabee 443514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to share the start of my stash, DH couldn't believe how excited I was to organize them haha!!! </p> [attach=2692/12/mevybu.450x600.IMG_0267.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-cloth-diaper-mamas/page/2#post-440494 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 22:42:17 +0000 cvbee 440494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lolabee: yay!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-cloth-diaper-mamas/page/2#post-440493 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 22:41:32 +0000 lolabee 440493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ohmygoodness!!! SO stinkin' cute!! Thank you for adding the pic. That makes me so excited :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-cloth-diaper-mamas/page/2#post-440491 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 22:34:27 +0000 cvbee 440491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those sound great. My guy was 7 pounds 15 ounces when he arrived, but then he got down to much closer to 7 pounds before going back to birth weight. I used them for about 6 weeks. He still fit them at 6 weeks but he was peeing big pees by then, which they couldn't handle reliably. </p> <p>Adding a pic I took of his bellybutton (happens to show the diaper) around 2 weeks old. </p> [attach=1398/12/mespxf.600x450.P4290112.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-cloth-diaper-mamas/page/2#post-440261 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 19:31:44 +0000 lolabee 440261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@red_seattle: Thanks! I've bought a couple Flips so we'll have an option for the biodegradable insert as well. Figured they would be fabulous for travel.<br /> @MsMini: Thank you for your suggestions! I am still on the fence about newborn sizes, will have to chat more with my DH about it.<br /> @cvbee: Thanks for your input on the newborn diapers! It would be sooo adorable to see them in teeny cloth diaps. I picked up a few Peachy Baby's (made locally, AI2's!) and they fit starting at 6lbs, hoping they will be sufficient for our LO. How big was your LO when born and how long did your newborns last for? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-cloth-diaper-mamas/page/2#post-430579 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 08:36:48 +0000 cvbee 430579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lolabee: I used the Grovia AIOs. I only bought enough for 24 hours (maybe 18?) and committed to washing daily. This was fine for me, but they took 2 cycles in the dryer to dry; whereas pocket diapers are bone dry in one cycle. If I were to do it all over again, I'd might not choose the same diaper (maybe I'd do fitteds with covers) because of the dryer time, but that's just what you get with an AIO organic cotton diaper. (I currently have one fitted cotton AIO and it needs some air drying after the dryer cycle too). But I was a little scared of some of the cloth options that I didn't understand, so the AIO to start with worked for me at the time. I am also happy that I splurged on the NB diapers because it was so cute to see him in his tiny little diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-cloth-diaper-mamas/page/2#post-430456 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 01:19:48 +0000 MsMini 430456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lolabee: For newborn diapers I would probably go for lil joeys by rumparooz, my one size of choice is fuzzibunz. My girlfriend did like fuzzibunz sized diapers in small for her newborn though. </p>
