After that he'll start playing with his food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/younger-toddler-eating-time#post-1675939 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 15:04:56 +0000 shopaholic 1675939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So funny how our LOs all seem to be on extreme ends: super fast or super slow! lol!</p> <p>I ended up letting her take the last bit of french toast with her and found it later on the floor in her room. Ugh… that's why I can't allow grazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/younger-toddler-eating-time#post-1675870 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 14:44:08 +0000 Adira 1675870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give Xander toast in the morning on the weekends so that I can make and eat my own breakfast, but he ends up taking at LEAST an hour to eat it!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/younger-toddler-eating-time#post-1675818 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 14:30:10 +0000 NovBaby1112 1675818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my LO is a pretty fast eater, mainly because she wants DOWN like asap, and she doesnt eat much to begin with :bummed: When she starts chucking food and crying/whining mealtime is usually over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/younger-toddler-eating-time#post-1675689 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 13:59:33 +0000 septca 1675689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD usually sits in her high chair for 20 minutes. It's pretty clear when she is done... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/younger-toddler-eating-time#post-1675669 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 13:55:11 +0000 JerricaBenton 1675669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh Lord we're in the same boat. It takes forever. She also still only has 4 teeth so it takes her a super long time with certain foods like meat. Usually my husband's still feeding her dinner after I'm done cleaning up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/younger-toddler-eating-time#post-1675665 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 13:53:32 +0000 heartonastring 1675665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fancyfunction: Yep, us too. DD frequently finishes her meal before DH and I are done eating. She's an eating machine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/younger-toddler-eating-time#post-1675661 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 13:52:20 +0000 autumnlove 1675661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FOREVER for my kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/younger-toddler-eating-time#post-1675656 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 13:50:47 +0000 Smurfette 1675656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like 20-30 mins tops. Anything after that she just picks up the plate and throws it on the floor cause she is done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/younger-toddler-eating-time#post-1675526 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 13:06:35 +0000 fancyfunction 1675526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, I guess we have the opposite problem b/c if I break something into pieces (like a pancake, say) and put all of it on her tray, she'll shovel it all into her mouth until it's gone! So I can only give her a few pieces at a time ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/younger-toddler-eating-time#post-1675497 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 12:59:08 +0000 pinkcupcake 1675497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FOREVER.</p> <p>And she still takes a looong time to eat (at 27 months). She pretty much just grazes all day long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/younger-toddler-eating-time#post-1675487 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 12:56:29 +0000 shopaholic 1675487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not quite sure hot to title this? </p> <p>If you let your younger toddler (no utensils yet) feed him/herself, how long does it take? How long is a mealtime? When do you decide it's over?</p> <p>K is the slowest eater! If I am letting her feed herself (i.e. bread, noodle, fruit, etc.) she can seriously take her sweet time! We've been eating the same piece of french toast for over an hour because she loves to nibble on it. And when I try to clean up and take it away, she still wants it. I think my limit is 1.5 hr for one meal! </p>
