Re: What do you do when the baby refuses their food?
by Mij
OK, so I realise that I'm probably dragging this out a bit now, but I've been thinking more about it cos IzzyMouse is being super-diva like about food and everything else at the moment. I think I'm fretting because BLW offers a vision of babies, then toddlers, then children, who will happily eat pretty much anything put in front of them and scoff family meals. Now, on a good day with my level head on, I can see that just ain't going to happen straight away, and not with every child, and of course toddlers are going to push the boundaries and, perhaps, only eat blue food for a week. I don't worry about quantity (as she's a BFing 10 month old), but I do wonder if I'm somehow 'encouraging' her current pickiness by cutting to something I know she'll eat when she ditches what's on offer, or by just bringing more and more stuff out of the fridge until I hit on something she's interested in. So someone please tell me that she won't turn into a child who'll only eat tomato and pitta bread for the rest of her life or insists on having the right to roam the fridge for every meal. Or, perhaps, to just get a grip...
