When our littl eone was in that phase we just limited things and didn't give her a drink at a meal until after part of the food was at least gone (She would chug all her milk and then surprise be full). It's really hard as a parent to see them not eat, but they'll eat if their starving and more than likely she is not starving seeing as you are and concerned parent.Fireflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021374674285525168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191348558570976591.post-758321172004449942010-09-09T13:57:40.234-04:002010-09-09T13:57:40.234-04:00Our son is the same way.

And a little is better than nothing!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05190236280134389968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191348558570976591.post-47394453087419638742010-09-09T13:54:14.292-04:002010-09-09T13:54:14.292-04:00Ugh, us too...Angelica eats like a bird, and she&#...Ugh, us too...Angelica eats like a bird, and she's only in the 5th percentile for weight (22lbs at 27 months) so our pediatrician wants us to "beef her up" -- LOL. The best thing I've done is to avoid calling attention to her not eating. She doesn't get anything to eat/drink within 2 hours of dinner...At dinner time, the TV is off so she's not distracted, she's served her meal, and if she only takes a few bites I let it go. That way she's not getting attention for NOT eating, so it doesn't reinforce the behavior or become a power struggle. I've only been doing that a few days though...but she has started eating more! A friend told me the other day that no child who has food available will starve to death. Eventually she'll eat. I hope. :) Good luck!!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12767186212381432504noreply@blogger.com
