My 3.5 year old NEVER eats dinner anymore!! Unless it's Mac n cheese or tortellini. It's ridiculous. I just keep offering but I'm tired of wasting food.
She ate all her spaghetti and meatballs last night. I offered some pasta as a side with her chicken nuggets and blackberries tonight. She said she didn't like any of it and wasn't eating. She ate blackberries this morning!!!
If she goes to bed hungry shes up all night. So trying to prove a point by making her go to bed without eating kind of sucks all around.
Help? This too shall pass? Ugh.
Is there any rhyme or reason to it? My LO is younger (2) but since she was maybe 15 mo she's required a lot of variety. With very few exceptions even when she really likes something she won't eat it more than once a week or every two weeks. So she can love something for dinner one night but I know she'll definitely refuse it if I offer it within the next few days. We cope by just trying to keep the variety high for her. Also if she just hates dinner for some reason I always let her eat string cheese and crackers (her fav). Food isn't really something I'm personally willing to fight about and I know then at least she's getting protein and something semi filling.
