I used to... but have stopped recently. Sometimes I can salvage some of the meal for later, but often we end up throwing out quite a bit of food! It pains me greatly to see that food go to waste... hopefully their dinner appetite picks up soon!
If your LO doesn't finish their dinner, do you eat the food yourself later?

Nope I throw it away. She puts things in and out of her mouth.

Nope- but if its not gross- I will save it for another meal. Ex: Lo had grapes for breakfast but only ate like 1(Cut up) so I grabbed the rest off his try- gave them a quick rinse and put them in his lunch!

Nope - if my kids don't finish a good bit of their dinner it goes in the frig and the next time they tell me they are hungry I take out their dinner and heat it up!
We were wasting so much food and I think they knew they would get a snack later so they wouldn't eat dinner and would wait for a snack.

Don't eat it myself (too much smashing, mixing, in and out of mouth, etc) but sometime give to the dog depending on what it is. They appreciate it a lot and I don't feel quite as I do when I throw it out!!

I eat whatever hasn't been regurgitated or put it in her lunch for daycare. I almost never throw out leftovers.

Depending on the... quality... of her leftovers I either put a lid on it put it in the fridge and give it to her later, or I mix it in with the rest of the leftovers (that I typically take for lunch)

no--LO is young and smashes and touches all his food so the leftovers are not so appetizing. it does kill me to throw away the food, though. i used to give it to the dogs but then they became absolutely rabid during mealtimes in anticipation of the treats so i stopped that also.
