My 21m old has begun to hold food in her mouth and this can go on for 40 minutes a bite! I’m getting really frustrated and really angry by this. She never used to do this and was a better eater than my son (who is 3). However, tables have turned soo much and she is really not eating anything. I have tried:
• picky plates
• offering a range of foods
• given her the options to choose what she wants to eat and leave foods.
I mean I could throw a packet of crisps and biscuits and she will wolf this down! But every meal is becoming a chore and a battle! Literally do not have the energy for this as I work full time and we both usually end up in tears.
Just to add she isn’t poorly nor is she getting something! She is healthy and sassy as can be!
Any help from anyone would be much appreciated.
