Need help with children
Can anyone help me with my 16 Months old son who doesn't want to eat.
He is an average baby and is growing very well. He can play, speak his baby language and can walk. Now the problem is, he doesn't want to eat. I feed him with baby foods that I buy from the shops and the food that we prepare for ourselves to eat. But he takes little amounts of either food. If I try to force him to eat more he end up vomitting. Sometimes he doesn't want to chew solid foods he prefers to eat soft foods that can be swallowed without chewing and he drinks a lot of drinks and milk. |

Just give him bits of everything you eat and let him figure it out. The only drinks your baby needs are water and breast milk. Sometimes parents give their children cow's milk a lot and it fills them up so they don't eat solid food.

I wouldn't worry very much. My daughter is 17 months and goes through phases
of eating everything in sight, then another phase of hardly eating anything. If he is hungry, he will eat. You say he is growing well and meeting his other milestones, so there's nothing to indicate a huge problem. I don't think force feeding is ever the answer though, you don't want him to get a complex about food or associate it with something nasty. Just keep offering him portions of what you're eating, if he doesn't eat it then fine, don't make a fuss. Just clear it away and make it clear there's nothing else on offer. It also really helps to sit down and eat as a family, toddlers are great mimics and he will want to copy what he sees the adults doing. Morag wrote in message oups.com...
