Lol. </p> regberadaisy on "What happens if your LO doesn't finish their dinner?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-if-your-lo-doesnt-finish-their-dinner#post-212307 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:58:41 +0000 regberadaisy 212307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both are adamant that they have to try everything once. If they don't like it then they don't have to eat it. We'll make them something else. I will never send my kid to bed hungry. </p> Mrs. Bee on "What happens if your LO doesn't finish their dinner?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-if-your-lo-doesnt-finish-their-dinner#post-212179 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:16:44 +0000 Mrs. Bee 212179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>he begs for more milk. </p> chopsuey on "What happens if your LO doesn't finish their dinner?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-if-your-lo-doesnt-finish-their-dinner#post-212140 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:04:44 +0000 chopsuey 212140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's young so she always eats her dinner. She gets a bath right after and goes to bed after that. </p> <p>I'm gonna give my LOs small portions for dinner and will make sure they finish what's on their plate. If they're not hungry, I'll put the food in the fridge for later. </p> Andrea on "What happens if your LO doesn't finish their dinner?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-if-your-lo-doesnt-finish-their-dinner#post-212133 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:02:10 +0000 Andrea 212133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For now, DD goes to bed right after dinner (after her bath) so if she doesn't eat then she just goes to bed.</p> <p>ETA - so far DD hasn't ever rejected her entire dinner yet. </p> mediagirl on "What happens if your LO doesn't finish their dinner?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-if-your-lo-doesnt-finish-their-dinner#post-212130 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:01:18 +0000 mediagirl 212130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was a kid, if we didn't finish our dinner, our plate was put in the fridge for later. If we got hungry enough later, we didn't get a snack, we got our dinner!! We also didn't get dessert. :( </p>
