Food

MC03

Ok, another post about food. DD's daycare this morning told me that most kids her age eat a lot more table food than she does.  We give her table food every day, but usually she will just take a couple of bites and then start throwing it on the ground.  Then if we feed her a puree or yogurt she will eat the whole thing.

 Some foods she will eat. She eats macaroni and cheese, beans, and she will throw back puffs and lil crunchies like a man.  I'm going to talk to her pedi about it at her one year appointment at the end of the month. And until then I guess we will just keep trying. Just wondering if any others out there are going through the same thing? Thanks!

Our DD is like this lately, except she hasn't been willing to taken pures or anything else fed to her. I plan to ask at her 1yr appt at the end of the month too.

Dean just started insisting on spoon feeding himself yesterday. I was feeding him mashed sweet potato casserole and he started crying and refusing to eat. I put some on the spoon and he took it from there. After he cleaned off the spoon he'll hand it back to me. give that a try:)

DS has been throwing his food but I figured out that it only happens when I put too much on his tray.  If I put just a couple pieces of something he will eat it with no problem.  Have you introduced anything new lately?  Maybe she needs to try something else?  I just introduced apples.  I cut off the skin and cut them into pea-size bites.  DS really likes them.  He also really likes frozen peas.  I don't even warm them up, just put them on his tray frozen.  I'm sure they feel good on his gums.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I think I'll try some of them this weekend and hope for the best.
