DD is driving me insane! shes 21months and weighes about 21-22lb.

Past 2-3weeks she just wont eat! Shes really playing up.Tonight shes been so naughty, shes been screaming/moaning at me and her dad. Wants to get in and out of her highchiar, iv just made dinner and she hasnt touched it

She hardly toucher her lunch just picking at it. The only meal she eats is her brekfast. Its driving me and her dad mad! She drinks fine and i cna garantee she will eat youguts ect but obv she cant have these all the time. She is now playing and hasnt touched her dinner

shes just been so naughty lately

could she be teething or coming down with something ?
what was she having for dinner ? maybe try something softer if she could be teething

if my lo dosnt each much during the day on occasion i tend to offer something like ready break before bedtime milk, just to try to fill him up a little...
hope she eats better tomorrow

They get molars at around 2 yrs so it might be that...they can be pretty bad. Might just be a stage too though

Does she drink lots making her feel full up? or does she have yogs or snacks through the day so not really hungry for her meals? not sure hun, some kids are just like that, my friends LO was the same hardly ate anything and she is fine

Jays quite a bit younger but is also a bit of a nightmare when eating at the moment. The only thing that works for us is distraction, so he'll sit and play with the whisk while I put food in his mouth... when he gets bored of that I'll give him a spatula / wooden spoon / book / measuring spoons etc...

she does drink alot of juice, weve tried cutting down but she just shouts "juiceeeee" lol and crys if we dont get her any. She doesnt have snacks in the day tbh, her dad did give her a yoghurt today when he got home from work =/ so thats probs why, il update tomorrow and tell you how we get on tomorrow =]

How much should she be eatting?

They all eat different amounts hun just like us adults do and also have hungry and not so hungry days...I would say as long as what ever she is eating is good healthy nutritious foods then thats the main thing x

ive found with joshua that hes just picking at his dinner but i think its because now he has finger foods rather than mashed foods.

i had a problem with joshua a few days back and now i just give him things he can feed his self.

hes been much better.
hope you get it sorted hun.
