  Feed me has suddenly become her most used phrase. : It's kind of funny since we did BLW so she's always fed herself. I didn't feed her at all before she turned 1, and suddenly at 2 she won't eat unless I feed her.

  OP, do you have a baby on the way / new baby? Sometimes they'll regress to get the attention that the baby is getting. 

  Toddlers are also missing the comfort of being held/carried/cuddled everywhere. Your LO may be trying to get "quality time" to make up for it.

  DD does this too. She'll feed herself, but then gets to a point where she asks us to "feed me like a baby".

  Alexa has always been like this. It's a rare occasion she will feed herself.

  She would rather starve. >:l So I always ended up feeding her myself. >:/

  My DD is the same way, so I asked my pedi about it at her last appointment. His thoughts was that as long as we know that she can feed herself, but just won't, that it's fine if we need to help her along at meals.
