Starting today I’m gonna keep track of what my daughter eats and how much sleep she gets. I really want to work on getting her on a better schedule and hopefully find some foods that she’ll actually eat 😩 this kid will literally fight sleep for hours and sometimes when she does go to sleep good she’s back up in a couple hours ready to play for a while. She also won’t eat unless it’s a fruit pouch, fruit gummies, or popsicles. *pic cause she’s cute* 🥰

Does she like bread? Or eggs? I gave Shemaiah a sandwich with deviled ham (mixed with ketchup and mayo) and he would eat it.. (no crust and perfectly cut in four pieces 🙄) but you know, it’s ham at least. It doesn’t matter if I had to give to him bite by bite, he started like that after a period where he didn’t want to eat. He liked scrambled eggs, thank god bc he ate that protein everyday at least. (Scrambled but compressed and cut in little squares, and not even one brown piece) like I tried hard and did everything how he wanted but I insisted like, “come on, one bit, esta rico, if you eat one bite I’ll give you gummies, at least try it or I’ll whoop you with the chancla (which never happens)... until he tried. Some things he liked some didn’t but now he’s eating more things, chicken tenders, chicken nuggets with ketchup and fries, rice and beans, soups of any kind, you know. Something. And in between all that, he drinks at least 3 times a day a bottle of strawberry milk, and at least one time a day he drinks yogurt.

I’m giving you ideas, maybe she’ll try any of that and like it

I’ll try anything at this point lol she won’t eat eggs of any kind though 😩 when she will eat it’s always mac&cheese, a cold hotdog, fries, chips, or pizza. I’ve started buying “organic” mac&cheeses hoping it’s a little healthier lol she won’t eat any kind of yogurt unless I make the little yogurt drops and freeze them. She does drink her milk 3 times a day and it has to be strawberry as well. I’ve tried bribing but idk if she’s just still too young to understand or just doesn’t care lol i have noticed that if I let her run and play while she eats she’ll at least take a couple of bites 😩😩

@caseyann19, she’s still too young, Shemaiah will be 3 yo in 4 months. Soon you will be able to negotiate or force her to try it, if she doesn’t like it ok but at least she has to taste what you’re giving her. Many times he refused to eat something and I kinda force him to taste it, then he would ask me for more. Before having a kid I used to say: oh, I’ll never EVER chase my child to give him his food, if he doesn’t sit on the table he will starve. HAHAHA I remember that and I was so funny, poor me. I go all around the house with his plate of food, he plays, run, dances, and I’m next to him fishing for an open mouth and waiting for him to finish chewing so I can give him the next scoop. 🤷🏻♀️ I’ll do anything for him to be fed, anything. At least your baby drinks her milk that’s important, my niece won’t drink even half of bottle during the day. Oh try different yogurts, maybe a bottle with liquid strawberry yogurt.

@caseyann19, thank god my MIL taught me to make his food when he was little, he would drink a full bottle of pure twice a day with a lot of chicken, or lamb, or beef in it. They are Cuban and that’s what they give babies, they grow super strong and healthy. The puré was made with malanga, pumpkin, carrots, sweet potato, spinach, broccoli, asparagus, sometimes plantain, sometimes beet, then chicken, or lamb or beef. I would put garlic onion and pepper but didn’t blend them in, I left them out. He started at 4 months trying one by one until we could make the whole blend. He would drink his purée until recently. About 3 months ago. (He never ever gets sick, he walked at 9 months by himself, he’s the strongest child wherever he goes, he’s very smart and is not allergic to anything, he eats very well) so I will do the same with my other kids. But next time I’ll let the kid eat the whole chicken or beef too so they get used to the texture. Shemaiah won’t eat beef to save his life.

I would try not to offer those types of foods... my LO isn’t super picky so I might be talking out of my ass but when she needs to eat healthier I only offer healthy options. If she asks for something I don’t want her to have I tell her we don’t have it but we can add it to the shopping list lol she will probably put up a fight but if she’s hungry she’ll eat.

They’re always my last resort but I think she knows that if she refuses the other than she’ll get the junk so I definitely need to tighten down on that 😞

Ok we’re in this together. Same bday so they must be going through a phase. Jasey won’t sleep much either. She goes to bed then wakes up several times. I didn’t get to sleep until 3:30 A.M. two days ago because she wanted to watch videos on YouTube. (After her dad woke her up) And she only eats Mac and cheese or pasta or chocolate. Lol
