HELP! So my 1 year old will not eat much of anything. If it was up too him he would live off apple juice, cheeto puffs and mashed potatoes. I try introducing a variety of foods but he isn’t having it. he’ll take like 5-6 bites and starts spitting/throwing it. He refuses formula & will only occasionally take regular milk. He doesn’t really like any other thing too drink other then apple juice and it’s not healthy or good for him too always have apple juice. I’m going too mention it too his doctor today but I need some suggestions or ideas on what too try please!
@brook. Yea it is stressful but he doesn’t want anything else I tried everything
@mamiprincess77, neither does my son! It’s like fighting a wild animal trying to get him to eat anything else! His doctor said too try ensure if he doesn’t want to eat! Maybe that’s something you can try as well!
You can try watering down his apple juice who is mostly water and little bit of apple juice. I'm sure it's just a phase that he will get over soon. My daughter has always been the food picker. To this day she still doesn't need a lot at all. No she's not picky about what she eats she just doesn't eat much. She'll have a bite or two of each food on her plate then she said she's done it also takes her a very long time to eat. I think if you cut out snacking and water down his juice he might start to eat more because he will be hungry and he'll have no choice but to eat what's in front of him. He might not eat a lot and that's okay. My daughter is the same but she is completely healthy
Yeah we just seen his doctor she said he’s healthy and that he’s just hit the stage of not wanting to eat as much and that it’s normal. She said m he’ll be fine as long as he eats a little something. Thank you for your input 🙂
Theres times my daughter wants to only snack. So aside from healthy snacks like fruits, string cheese, yogurt, etc. . I will cut her off from snacking. She will then eat what i usually end up serving her for lunch / dinner.
We also only keep milk and water at home so she has no other options.
When we go out is usually when she gets a free pass on drinks and snacks 🤷🏻♀️😂
@mamamegan, I haven’t tried that! Thank you I’ll definitely have to give it a try!
My 1 year only likes cheese puffs fries and juicy juice and is a picky eater so this is funny to me because I have the same problem at home 😂
