You'd think with having gone through all this finger food stuff with at least 8 babies, I'd know what to do but this one has me questioning myself.....
Mindee is almost one and we've been trying finger foods recently. So far with me she once ate a bit of a cheese sandwich when we were out and about in the pram and at mine she's had some cheese on it's own but refuses everything else until last week I managed to get her to have a little bit of pear.
Now, at home her mum said she'll eat quite a few mini rice cakes. The most she's ever had with me is 1 mini rice cake, the rest of the time she throws it down to the floor. Part of me thinks it's because I make children sit down to eat and so she's in a highchair or sat at the toddler table. NOw, at toddler group she'll very happily have a biscuit!!! But fruit she throws about.
I know at home she eats things like cheesy wotsits and other crisps (has a healthy diet apart from that) and chocolate buttons and things. I'm in 2 minds as to whether it's a) not wanting to be sat when eating or b) she doesn't like my snacks as they are not full of flavour like the wotsits etc. If it's b, I refuse to start giving proper crisps and other not so healthy snacks as it's not fair on the others.
Anyone else come across this sort of problem? The hardest bit for me is when mum says she will have them when with her
