If they don't eat

christinasullie37 · September 2013

My DD is finally getting the hang of table food and feeding herself but she has a tendancy to throw everything on the floor or put it in her mouth, then take it our and throw it on the floor. I am worried she is not getting enough to eat at meal time. So here is my dilema, what do I do? Do I follow up with stage three foods or do I try again at the next meal?

How much are you giving her at a time? Stick with only a few pieces because they're usually less likely to throw it on the floor (swooshing through piles of food is much more fun lol) plus then you're only out a few pieces at a time. She'll eat if she's hungry though and as long as she's still getting bottles, that's really her main source of nutrition.

I do only give a few pieces at a time and if she finishes that I put out a few more pieces and yes she is still on about 24-28 oz of formula per day.
