The only way G will eat most veggies is in baby food form, (she's 3.5) I get all anxious about it as I drink my damn smoothie every morning. What's the difference?! I blend my spinach too! And she ASKS for SPINACH, I'm going to say no to that?! *shrug* <br />The having them help you is a fantastic idea that I can attest works, we have a MUCH better chance of G trying, and choosing to finish food she's helped prepare.

We went through the same thing with my oldest son. Our pediatrician in Chicago gave me great advice that did the trick in reassuring me and decreasing the stress for all of us at mealtime. When thinking of your toddler's nutrition, you need to view it over a month timeframe (no joke!). Some days he may only want bread, the next day he is inhaling blueberries, etc. Don't focus on the daily nutrition, but take a monthly view.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10192495561284902556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-66139174694037915622013-05-19T16:51:55.822-05:002013-05-19T16:51:55.822-05:00This was great.

Caroline will do the baby-bird thing for certain foods (sweet potatoes and cauliflower are her favorites), but she will eat other things (like carrots) eventually if I let her sit in her high chair long enough. Sometimes I am impatient! <br /><br />I have a friend who told me she dreads meal time with her toddler every evening--I definitely don't want to end up there. <br /><br />The BLM aspect is also really significant. It's hard when we feel so much weighing on us in terms of keeping our children healthy and thriving, since we couldn't do that before--for whatever reason or no reason. I do believe that not stressing TOO much about it is good advice, although perhaps the most difficult to follow. And yeah, weight gain is important! <br /><br />Maybe the best advice is the "just a phase" thing. It's amazing how I feel like Caro has a defining behavior when actually she's only been doing it for a week, and in another week she'll have moved on to something else. Rest assured B won't be eating only smoothies and throwing his food by the time he goes to kindergarten. (At least, I'm pretty confident he won't).Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946311309467296976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-33443593854514621492013-05-19T10:43:00.823-05:002013-05-19T10:43:00.823-05:00Thanks for all the tips in organized form! :)
