Hi Mums, DD is 15MO & being hard going when eating lunch. She's between having morning nap & not. It means she's exhausted by 11 and refuses to eat, we battle for a bit then I give in and put her to bed, she misses lunch and it takes her sometimes up to an hour to drop off, she lies in her bed chatting, perfectly happy.
She's really grizzly all the time and this week she's wanted a dummy, refusing to eat without it. (Actually she's refusing to do anything without it, the only time she's happy is with it!). Until last week she only had it for sleeping.
She's recently got over a cold and she's teething so really can't blame her for being a bit miserable. I just wondered what techniques you can use to cheer her up and encourage her at meal times and also to encourage less reliance on the dummy?
Trying to keep her in a routine however difficult to regulate as she's with grandparents and childminder all week.
