The first few foods I researched to be the least likely to cause a reaction with his condition turned out to be a problem for him, so we started letting him decide which his next foods would be (based on him trying to eat them from me and getting excited when he saw them). So far this has worked much better for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-getting-your-lo-to-eat#post-82705 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:55:15 +0000 heffalump 82705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's a pretty good eater so far, but I don't do any work to get her to eat. If she doesn't feel like eating, I don't make her. She's so young it doesn't matter yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-getting-your-lo-to-eat#post-82647 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:23:37 +0000 Rubies 82647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, LO is proving to be a good eater. She breastfeeds like a champ and is loving her purees so I hope she keeps it up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-getting-your-lo-to-eat#post-82646 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:23:18 +0000 chopsuey 82646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some days she eats like a champ. Other days she barely eats anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-getting-your-lo-to-eat#post-82642 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:21:49 +0000 Andrea 82642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Haha. I love how you narrate your life with Youtube videos. </p> <p>I always used to strap my LO in her high chair for every meal and snack. She ate well but stopped wanting to be restrained at around 20 months or so. So now we mix it up and let her eat breakfast and snacks not sitting in her high chair. But for bigger meals like lunch and dinner I have her sit in the high chair. She is happy to do so if I put on some Sesame Street Youtube videos for her and will eat just about anything I put in front of her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-getting-your-lo-to-eat#post-82630 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:11:11 +0000 mrbee 82630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am pretty bad at it. But Mrs. Bee reminded me this weekend that to eat well, Charlie has to be strapped into his high chair. I keep forgetting to do that.</p> <p>When our LO eats well for me, I feel like a conquering hero... this song from Aladdin literally goes through my head (replace "Prince Ali" with "Mister Bee" for the full effect):</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Xb0OpJ_qOs" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Xb0OpJ_qOs</a></p> <p>Are you good at getting your LO to eat? What are your eating tricks? </p>
