This child is driving me nuts lately with her eating
She used to be such a good eater, in terms of eating whatever you gave her. Ever since she got sick and lost her appetite she's been soooo bad!! She runs around the house yelling HUNYEE pretty much all day long slamming the cabinets - seriously! She will NOT eat anything you give her, she wants to pick it out. We will go through the "kids" food cabinet, our pantry, the fridge, everywhere we have food. I have to pull out everything and show it to her... then she just says NO to everything anyway (URG!!). This morning for breakfast the ONLY thing she would eat was Cheez-it's. I managed to get her to eat a few bites of a ham sandwich for lunch and what else... yup Cheez-it's. Is anyone else going through this craziness.... how are you dealing???? I feel like I'm starving her!
What a stinker! Tai has been a lot picker lately as well, he only wants cheezits, too. But maybe I'm a bad mommy, if he dosen't want to eat anything I just don't make a big deal out of it. If I try and give him something good like rasins instead of what he wants - oh watch out it's everywhere! I figure that if he really does get hungry he'll decide to eat something instead of just dropping it on the floor. I get too frustrated trying to force him to eat something and I think it frustrates him as well. Good luck with the wild one!!
Giving away FREE crotch extenders -- do I have any takers??
: Um, Donna that has been my life since Lauryn was 9 months old! She is still AWFUL when it comes to eating. I know how you feel. I get so excited when she eats a bite of a nutrigrain bar or when she eats a bite of hamburger(ok, that's happened like 2X in her life) I just quit worrying about it, since the dr isn't worried. Take deep breaths!!
Some days Liriel will eat anything - other days she won't eat anything I give her. But at least she is still nursing so I don't worry too much about it right now as long as there is output.
Well Maddox eats anything (obviously! look at those cheeks!) but I don't really give him anything that isn't healthy (that way he won't crave junk food). It is all friuts and veggies. I did this with Brayden too and they are both great healthy eaters. I find when Brayden goes to my moms and they eat junk and crackers and stuff when he gets home he is picky. He gets over it fast though because it is either dinner or hungry (god I sound awful )
Ive been having that problem a bit with Kaitlyn I have been buying Danimals smoothies and giving her those if she wont eat real food or V8 smoothies....at least then I know she is getting something good to eat and not crap.
Has anyone else seen that V8 has now put out a new drink V-Fusion - which is a 100% fruit/vegetable drink. I picked up 3 different flavors awhile back and Liriel kind of likes them - though she isn't a big juice drinker. I've tasted them and they are not too bad. If I could drink carrot juice without negative reprucussion I might actually buy them for myself.
