Question

Do you ever feel like your kids are never ending pits? I have fed my kids like every hour today. They’re not bored we’ve been super busy around the house so they must be growing 😂😂😂

My kids go through phases. Sometimes my son is a bottomless pit and eats every hour. Right now both of them don’t want to eat anything 😩 Their meals consist of 4 bites and I have to bribe them to eat anything healthy. I just try to go with the flow.

That’s what I do too. My 4 year old will eat all day one day and the next I’ll be lucky if she eats one whole meal. I just figure she’ll eat when she’s hungry and I always just offer her food. Someone told me I was a bad mom because I didn’t feed her 3 meals plus snacks every single day. She eats plenty and she’s healthy and that’s what matters.

@allamericanmommy, there’s only so much you can do. Neither of my kids will eat 3 full meals a day. My daughter is extremely picky and very defiant so she refuses most foods. She’s very skinny but I guess that’s just her body type because she never gains weight, she just gets taller. As long as you’re trying I don’t see how you’re a bad mom. It’s not like you’re intentionally starving them.

They could be going through a growth spurt or just it could just be thirst. They might not be able to differentiate the difference between thirst and hunger. Mine go through that, too, and they are the same age as yours. So if I know they've had enough to eat I will offer water before giving them more food. If they are truly hungry they'll ask for food and if it was just thirst they go back to playing and forget they were "hungry".

I tried water we live in AZ so it’s hot so I make them drink a lot. They still wanted food haha I think they both have grown an inch on the last two months.
