Toddler eating help!
I need help getting Ella to eat! Poor little bug has lost 2lbs! She wears a 4T for pants now, so I know she is getting tall, but she only weighs 31lbs! I am at a loss. I have been giving her pediasure or kid essentials daily and I even tried a cheeseburger for the calories and she wouldn't touch it. Last night I was bribing her to eat her veggie burger with tomatoes! For lunch lately she has only been choosing to eat raw veggies. She loves all things sugar, but I have been refusing sugar except milk and natural stuff because I don't want her to get sick! Any ideas to help me help her eat?
Re: Toddler eating help!
I'd do my best not to fight her. It's the one thing she can control. If she likes raw veggies, that's great. Have lots available in lots of different shapes, forms, etc.
Try dips: guac, hummus, maybe make a non-spicy salsa if she likes tomatoes. Make dips with blended up cottage cheese and ranch packets.
Maybe also get her involved in the kitchen,making the things she'll eat. I think you probably already do but thought i'd throw it out there.
Maybe some sandwich shapes with cookie cutters or you can hide a multitude of things in tortillas with cheese and make shapes from that too, or let her do it.
Ana is slightly pickier than Katen so sometimes she keeps me on my toes too.
