Feeding a toddler. Why is it so hard? I'm seriously considering stocking up on purees again. Kolton was a champion puree eater. It made me feel good knowing he was getting all of the recommended vitamins and then some. Now, I am getting so sick of wasting food! And I feel like he isn't getting enough. Of course he loves his mac n cheese. But I can't give him mac n cheese at every meal...can I?
Oh, and what sort of time limit do you impose? On one hand I worry about him eating enough but on the other once we've reached about a 1/2 hour of picking at it I think we're both done!
I am totally fine feeding AM the same stuff a few days in a row (especially if that's all she'll eat).
ReplyDeleteAs for time limits - I usually just wait until I can tell that she's moved from actually eating the food to just playing with it. Sometimes she'll still be eating after 20 minutes so a half hour doesn't seem unheard of to me.
