Tantrums over food - Page 2

I'm not sure if she's still gaining weight, she's getting weighed tomorrow for the first time in 6 months. She has slimmed out but she's started crawling and now walking since her last weigh in

Snack cups are my savior. If Brenn won't eat something off his high chair tray, I just pop it in a snack cup and off he goes. He will snack and play or if we are in the car, he will eat what's in the cup. Or I fill it with little crackers, or cereal or cut up apple, or raisins.

This is the one I really like:

They honestly all do this and like some of the other posters said, she wont starve herself.

Cut back on the milk, offer weak juice if she wants a drink.

Try an different chair if you have room.

When you sit her down with her food, i know it sound cruel, but just ignore her. Even if she tantrums. Get on with eating your own food, or doing jobs round the kitchen.

The less attention you give her, the more likely she is of picking something up.

If she wont give in, just take her plate away, take her out of the chair and dont say anything about the food.

Offer healthy snacks

Hope this helps xx
