can you indulge me and tell me what your one year old eats?

[oranges]

I have a 19 month old baby who is not fussy as such, but eats in tiny quantities.
On a good day, he'll have - half a weetabix with milk,
six bites of pasta and brocolli, vanilla yoghurt,
6 bites of a blueberry muffin,
half a little bowl of chicken casserole with potatoes and carrots.

He used to eat an actual plateful of food, but hasn't done for about 4 months. Still drinks milk though. When he's sick, he won't eat a thing.

sorry Aitch. That's actually what I should have said. Bah.

Doo-do-doo-do-do, ma-nuh-ma-nuh!

Knackered, Starlight? That'll learn ya.

Yup, the Stokke one.
And I do love it (tho it was expensive). I think the two advantages it has over the excellent Ikea one are

1. It looks fab - good for me where my highchair is in the living room.
2. It supports their feet rather than let them dangle.

It is also nigh on impossible to get out of or tip over (and takes a bit of practice to get them in, in the first place) - even for my climber!

hab, i did a lot of deleting first...

I rather think we should have a Muppets chatname day

I do wonder why IKEA haven't perfected a triptrap variant of their own, actually.

Is there an International Muppet Day?

actually, i've seen lots of people complaining that tripp trapps are easy to tip over and parents are required to hook their legs round the chair while eating.
dd is an inveterate climber, we don't bother strapping her into the antilop as it's counter-productive and she's sat eating her dinner on the arm or back and never tipped it over. get the antilop!

There can be, Habbibu!

Oh, I am a genuine North London (yummy?! debatable ) mummy - just not Islington. I like that it is made by Stokke and we live in Stokey (Stoke Newington)

Our TTs tip over on carpet, so DS2's is against a cupboard atm. Laminate no problem, they slide. Sodding hate carpet in dining room though!

I do like the Antilop though. Get that one, or the booster.

another NLondon mama - MM stokey dahling LOL like it

But you were insisting he ate the avocado, because you'd decided that was what he wanted. He might've preferred a banana. I don't see the issue with a 1yo, to give him a choice of an avocado and a banana. That's my point.

i joined this thread days ago - as i said then dont agree with force Feeding - it is cruel. frankly dont see point in making food an issue.

ScottishMummy - shame on you. You should have a high chair more appropriate to your roots, not your current location. Perhaps a little cairn?

Oh I seeeee, no the Tripp Trapp just slides along our Real Oak floor (see what I did there )

Where are you Scottishmummy?

You are a North London mummy???? Surely not???

Hunker, sorry, but I think my DS wins the award for feisty child...

I got most success weaning him by leaving tit-bits on the floor that he thought he oughtnt be picking up and eating......

sorry!! the thread hadnt moved on when i was posting so i x posted quite a few comments so reading back i soud a bit odd like 10 mins later[ei rolls eyes in a silly me kinda way]
but i do think that you can see the 'assertive' side of your childs personality from around 2-4 months! (its my opinion from watching my own child develop and i shouldnt be told off for it i dont think) i dont think that saying 'pack of wolves' is harsh (i wouldnt as i said it) but if you were reading your posts as you said them as if they were posted by somebody else im sure you would see that they too were harsh iyswim
i, in my own way was posting in support for starlight and i thought i had made that clear by what i had said but hay ho it doesnt matter too much as i have just said it then!!
sorry if i came across as harsh but its difficult to get your meaning across through words alone (i incidentally express with my hand so im lost...)

i see that, mummymagic. very cunning.

LOL, a wee bucket like "oor wullie",

You might think so, VVV, but DS2's closing the gap... He jumps off the sofa now, btw. And down the bottom two steps [oh my heart]

Come and get a muppet name, VVV. Nobody else is playing

ROFL at the wee bucket. absolutely PMSL.
