I also never force her into eating, around this age some days they have less of an appetite than other days and that’s fine too. I noticed Emilia eats more on some days and less on others. As long as they’re staying hydrated and using the restroom it’s better not too stress too much on the meal times, at least that’s what our pediatrician mentioned but you might wanna speak to your ped

Emilia likes anything i have so I always pretend to eat what she has. Also I put all her food in “adult dishes” bc I noticed this seems more appetizing to her. I leave a plastic plate with maybe a couple pieces of cereal and baby-appropriate spoon/fork on her high chair she can hold while she tries feeding herself that and I just feed her the food I want her to actually eat and it works for us maybe give that a try:)

Depending on what it is, Noah likes to dip. He loves to dip in ketchup actually. He feeds himself with his fork/spoon and also depending on what it is he likes it to be in pieces. What we do a lot at home is we let him eat literally off our plate because sometimes he doesn’t like to try it if it’s on his plate but if I have it or my mom has it he tries it and we can tell if he genuinely likes something or not. I tend to not force him to try something though he makes it clear when he doesn’t want something
