Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Am I the only one with a garbage disposal child?

This child will eat ANYTHING!!! I haven't found a thing yet that he won't eat. It's such a relief considering DS #1 is the pickiest eater EVER!!!

  • Not alone. I refer to my daughter as my little billy goat!

  • Nope, you are not alone. My DS will eat anything I put in front of him and he'll eat a ton of it too. Much more than what I would expect him to eat and he is still only in the 20th percentile.
  • My DD will eat anything. It's almost become a science experiment in our house purely for mine and DH's entertainment.
  • Mine eats everything. He will eat some of the weirdest things - pickled beets, olives, mushrooms.  We give him everything to see just how far he'll go.
  • My son will try anything but definitely prefers the more typical kids crap food. The more disgusting thing is that he prefers food on the ground - so if he doesn't like it while seated in his high chair, he'll throw it on the ground and despite my attempts to pick up his food there are always a few stragglers and I'll find him back in the kitchen scouring the floor and munching on his veggies from his last meal.

  • DD will take at least one bite of everything that we put in front of her, before she decides that she doesn't like it.

    I've noticed that a lot of the things that she refuses, she's refusing because of their textures, not because of their flavors.

  • Mine eats anything too. ?We went to Sam's Club this weekend. ?He ate every sample they passed out.... egg rolls, shrimp, chicken nugget, soft pretzel, cream puff (ok, I kept most of the cream puff for myself).

    I could not believe he ate the shrimp and egg roll though. ?I don't eat those things myself!?

  • I've got a little garbage disposal!  The amount of food my DS can put away just amazes me.  He is also willing to try anything, and in face insists on trying everything I'm eating.  The other day I had a Chipotle veggie burrito, complete with medium salsa, and DS put up a fit until I gave him a bite.  Then he wanted another, and another, and another.  He was actually sucking on the thing!
  • I've got 2 of them.

    It's not uncommon for both my toddlers to out eat my 14 yr old.

    They got their Daddy's metabolism. ?They eat like horses and are skinny little sticks.

    ?

    Needless to say - I'm jealous!!?

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
