I know I had something like this happen with Mavrick. So I started teaching him to hold his own utensils and feeding himself. (Watch out for a mess) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-not-eating#post-204707 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 12:04:32 +0000 Boogs 204707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I thought the same thing when I read that. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-not-eating#post-204073 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 07:22:52 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 204073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I think that's pretty typical... Just like Lala asking for more applesauce and then just wanting to play in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-not-eating#post-204011 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 00:27:41 +0000 brownie 204011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put the food into his snack cup and he can carry it around and eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-not-eating#post-203999 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 23:17:19 +0000 Boogs 203999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Thank you, I just read it and it was very helpful! I'll definitely keep the fist rule in mind. I guess I just started worrying because he would sign more, but when I fed him he wouldn't eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-not-eating#post-203991 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 23:05:29 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 203991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I think babies hit toddlerhood and are too busy to eat. We try to offer lots of options and not focus on it. As long as he's tracking along his growth curve, you should be fine. Don't know if my toddler eating post might contain something helpful for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-not-eating#post-203990 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 23:04:52 +0000 Boogs 203990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Good one, maybe I'll see if I can interest my sister and her kids in some lunch out tomorrow! Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-not-eating#post-203984 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 22:59:00 +0000 Mrs. Bee 203984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is probably too busy working on walking to want to eat. He will probably come around, another trick that usually works is eating out or around other kids. We used to feed Charlie dinner at the playground, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-not-eating#post-203977 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 22:48:47 +0000 Boogs 203977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Ugh, he probably is. He is finally walking, so maybe he's thinking he's a big man on campus now. I hadn't thought about it before, but the two events pretty much coincided. </p> <p>I've also tried some bento tricks, but I'm in need of more bento supplies to hopefully make things more appealing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-not-eating#post-203973 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 22:46:05 +0000 Mrs. Bee 203973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe he is just asserting his independence. Have you tried and bento style tricks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-not-eating#post-203971 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 22:43:48 +0000 Boogs 203971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: If he even opens his mouth it's to spit it right back at you. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-not-eating#post-203969 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 22:42:07 +0000 Mrs. Bee 203969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Soups? That always works for Charlie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-not-eating#post-203958 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 22:31:37 +0000 Boogs 203958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO used to be a great eater. Now, literally overnight, he refuses to eat. I don't know what to do, but don't want him to starve. </p> <p>Has this happened to you? What did you do? </p>
