Anyone have any good tips or tricks to get your toddler to eat. Lately it’s become a huge fight to get my daughter to eat anything with any nutritional benefits.

@klashe73017, they also turn into mad scientist rather than eating. Dumping juice in the food, mixing it together, etc. it’s their way of exploring. Just keep introducing new things and reintroducing old things. She’ll catch on soon hopefully
@morganmommy79, you are so right ! Thanks so much.
If all else fails I still give my four year old milk and oatmeal if she's being super picky. At least I know she's getting some sort of calories. I chip chicken really fine too and sneak it into spaghetti sauce. I've learned with my daughter that it isn't necessarily about the taste but the texture. My daughter loves soup, oatmeal, wet cereal, mashed potatoes, stuff that is kind of droopy lol.
Yea my daughters thing is pasta .. she won’t eat oatmeal anymore really .. she likes crackers a lot. And yea I give her those horizon singles milks .. she loves those.
I let my toddler dip. Ketchup and ranch have been our saviour. We mix any and everything with one or the other. If you find a food they like especially if it's healthy go for it. I also blend veggies and then add them to things like spaghetti sauce and I make my own spiral noodles.
Yea she loves ketchup but usually will just eat the ketchup lol ..
Yess she loves pasta so I’ve been getting the pasta made from veggies and that’s been a saving grace most times. Some days though she just isn’t into eating anything.
Only serve healthy things? 🤷♀️ any food we have in our house that I offer is healthy in some way. They don't really know any different. That's the only thing I can think of
ETA: my middle child has a sweet tooth (like me lol) so I just avoid any non nutritional food as I know she'd be one who would eat only the unhealthy things. Knowing this I don't buy anything of that type of things.
Eta#2 I also really stress healthy eating habits, to the point where my kids will ask "is this sugar" and if I answer "yes" half the time the won't want to eat it, or they will ask for a smaller portion. I'm surprised it's worked this far tbh lol 😂
That’s what we offer but I have older kids and they eat their food and have snacks and this little person will go to the snack shelf get what she wants and open it.
Get rid of the "snack shelf" and ask the other kids to put their food in a different place? Top cupboard shelf? Idk, just trying to throw suggestions out there
It’s perfectly normal for them to go through this phase. My toddler only ate Mac n cheese for like two weeks. She didn’t want anything else. Hopefully it’s just a phase for your little one.
Anytime I cook something for my toddler and she refuses to eat it I try chopping it up small in her other dishes so she gets some nutritional foods.
