hi

[dawnjones123]

please help me ive ran out of ideas for my 18 month old girl for meal times she will not eat a meal only snacky food

Hi Dawn

my dd was a nightmare to feed. I found that i did small quick things that she could eat without stress.

I know we shouldnt but i would put the highchair in front of a telly and let her eat and watch.

Is she good with different foods but doesnt have the attention span to sit for ages to eat.

IIRC, someone once suggested that you put the snacky stuff onto a plate and serve it together at mealtimes. So long as it's fairly healthy, there's no reason at all why that's a problem.

So you starting with the idea of mealtimes and not just grazing all day.

Then you can start to introduce different foods.

What kind of thing is she having?
