Ok so I have a big problem! Karen is refusing to eat anything other than junk food! She's a year and…

My son gets in them moods where he just doesn’t want to eat ! I just make sure he drinks his whole milk cause he still gets his vitamins from that ! She’ll come around mama ☺️

I did. I don't know if it's the right thing, but I didn't fight it. For like three days straight he ate only French fries and puffs. I kept offering him real food, and leaving a bowl of fruit within reach. He did eat pouches every once in a while though.

It's pretty impossible to reason with them at this age. An older kid you can say "if you don't eat this you don't get dessert/treats/junk food/whatever" and they'll understand. This age, it's like trying to reason with a rock.

@nomli she eats her fruit but won't touch ham,cheese, turkey, bread, deer or rice. Not even a damn hotpocket

It’s a phase. My son went through it and only ate weird things for like a week. So for a yummy snack I kept giving him yogurt and some chocolate milk..the chorale because he wouldn’t drink regular milk 😂

@karensmommy, oh man, I only just got him to start eating meat!

It's definitely a phase. I think it's something about how they're trying to assert their independence but don't have much control over what they can choose, so they fight against things they used to love. Just keep feeding her what she'll eat, don't push it, and she'll grow out of it. Or give her choices, only like two because really, they're toddlers, to give her some control over her life.

Night before last I could only get Macie to eat pickles for dinner🤷🏼‍♀️ about 2 hours after dinner she got hungry and had slightly more normal food but nothing to be happy about lol

It’s definitely a phase. My daughter did it too. All she wanted to eat was chips, gold fish and fruit snacks lol.

My kids did that. Just be happy she's eating her fruits
