So my daughter is in a phase where she can eat but she won't eat what I make her. I don't know what to do. I don't want her to starve but I'm not going to let her eat garbage at ever meal. Sooo I'm at a loss. She didn't eat half of what she normally eat but I was done fighting with her and I put her down to play. I just feel like she needs to eat. It was the same at lunch

Someone once told me that kids won’t starve themselves. If they refuse to eat what you’ve made them (and you know they really do like it) wrap it up and save it. And later when they ask for something to eat then take it back out.
Not sure if it works..I’m not there yet with Maddox 😂 but could be worth a try!

My son is 10 months old he eats a very good breakfast, excellent lunch and half his dinner and drink mostly formula I think he's going thru a phase

@carol.braganca.2014 that sounds like a great system. She eats an okay breakfast. Nothing special. So I feel like she barely ate today and now shes sleeping. So it's never happened but i don't want her to wake up in the middle of the night because she's hungry you know?

@mommy1991, what @maddoxsmama, said is very true they won’t starve themselves they def know when they’re hungry, around that age they go through a growth spurt that suppresses their appetite don’t worry too much it’s completely normal

I had the same problem. My doctor suggested pediasure drinks if I feel she isn't eating enough.
