Don't know what to do! My 2yo eats snacks ( 🍎, 🍐, 🍌 crackers, etc) cookies bread , nuts, no problem with that but when it comes to eating a proper meal she does not eat at all!!! I tried everything! And nothing she just plays with the food. Don't know what to do?!! I feel like if i don't give her snacks she will eat her dinner but no! And then i feel bad bc she has not eaten so i end up giving her a fruit or cookies 😔i feel like a bad mom. What else can i do?

My daughters the same way she's barely 10 months though, all she wants to eat is those teething biscuits(homemade) bananas and cheese, what I've been doing is giving her foods that look like a snack if that makes sense, more like finger foods, like I'll cut up chicken breast, broccoli pieces , cooked carrots n what not and put it in a ziplock bag, she'd eat them if it's not on a plate idk it's hard to explain

My 1 year old does the same. He can snack all day but when it comes to lunch or dinner he'll take a few bites and be done. I just spoke with his dr about it at his 15 well ness check and she said it's normal. As long as they are eating something during the day and getting that protein they are fine.

My daughter was a grazer too and a self proclaimed vegetarian from birth. Its not abnormal for them to go through phases or just be grazers make sure shes getting vitamins to make up for what shes missing or sneak some other things into her food ;)

My son is the exact same way! He would go through these phases for weeks or months at a time where he just won't eat. Try sneaking some vitamins into her bottle or give her some smoothies with veggies in it to make sure she's at least getting some nutrients. Don't feel bad tho you're not alone!
