My 11-month old has been like this for a while and it's the same with his bottles. I currently have to feed him his bottles in front of the TV and even then I need 4-5 attempts as he's just too busy and too curious to sit/lie still. Obviously the same for mealtimes at the table. No TV or any other distractions at the table but currently he's just throwing food. I really don't know what to do with him. 😢 He's really small too (3rd percentile) because he's just too busy to eat. What can I do with him?
I would discuss with your pediatrician and see if a feeding eval would be beneficial - sometimes kids show early signs of sensory sensitivities around eating that can be addressed through feeding intervention with an Occupational therapist or speech pathologist.
Love this! Any tips on how to get toddler to eat foods with utensils? My 2 year old started reverting once my 6 month old was born and now he only eats fruits with his fork but will wait for everything else to be fed to him
Thanks for the great tips, my 2 year old will not sit for more than a minute at the table. High chair transition has been difficult. He loves the liberty of running around that comes with sitting at the table. Im going to try the incremental timer technique, thank you!
I need help with removing my child’s toys as I’ve let him get a bad habit of bringing them to the table and I know he’s going to struggle with that and have a tantrum
I have a video coming out soon about this! Also, this video about feeding mistakes with babies may help you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y5JxO3j0Tjc.html Mostly, it's about getting your baby used to the routine of sitting to eat several times a day; and not pressuring too much. All this can be stressful, I know, but the more relaxed you are, the better. Check out my website, too, The Nourished Child, for more resources on infant feeding/nutrition!
My son is just turn 2, and all he eaten mostly is mashed, 4 different food mashed in a single meal 1. ( chicken, sweet potatoes, kale, and will eat it only if have yougurt banana on top) 2. (avocado ,egg, banana, yougurt )and it is 2 major meal he got in a day and snacks, more sleeping than eating, He eat solid foods like peanut butter brown bread, berries, apples, oranges grapes Bottomline he is doesnt eat alone solid.
