Oh bugger- I've messed up ds eating habits!

[mrsflux]

I'm having rotten morning sickness and so I'm not eating properly at meals and snacking on junk. This would be fine if it was just me but my lovely ds who would eat anything in good quantities has picked up my bad habits! :(

How do you deal with a toddler (17mo) and eating properly when you have bad morning sickness?

(ps I've tried the just power through approach and it makes me puke)

He is being given proper meals but I sit and pick at them. He's always been a better eater when there's a full table of people- the more the merrier. I'm hoping if I messed it up so quickly then I can put it right again once the ms subsides a bit

Exactly the same happened to me and DS at probably about the same age/stage. Am pleased to say that when I started eating properly again, so did he, with a bit of gentle persuasion.

dh had ds all weekend as i was laid up in bed trying not to be sick! am totally wiped out.

the positive bit of that was that he went out for lunch with various family members each day and ate like a horse! think he just wants to see people enjoying their food - after all if mummy won't eat it then it must be rubbish!
