Does your baby complain if you are eating and he/she isn't?

BC&LM · March 2014

On the solids question thread, a lot of ladies mentioned that their babies fuss terribly if the adults are eating and the babies aren't. My LO has never done this (yet), so I was curious how common it is. Does your baby complain if you are eating and he/she isn't?

SS - my baby just complains all the time. And she always wants whatever is in my hads, whether is a chocolate chip cookie or ipad.

He acts like a little booger if we don't share. One day, we gave him pizza crust and had to take it away b/c he shoved the entire thing in his mouth and he threw a fit! It was cute, in a not-so-cute way.

I usually end up eating standing up, and B crawls over to my feet and pulls himself up on my legs and looks at me with his big, hungry eyes. He only does that if he notices I'm eating something though.

I have to hide when I'm eating if I don't have anything I can share. He will throw a fit, like full on tears and everything) if he seems me eating and I don't share.

I swear she begs worse than the dogs. I binge eat the snacks that I don't want to share during nap time.

Yes, all the time. Even if he just ate his meal. He will crawl to me and grunt/whine until I give him some. I can't eat anything in front of him I don't plan on sharing.

DD still isn't super excited about food in general so she doesn't care if we are eating and she isn't.

PISSED, straight up.

Yes, there will be tears or screaming, with a little bit of puppy dog eyes in there. Even if I just take a little longer to eat than he does and the food is all gone from his tray.... Look out.

Ellie throws a complete fit if we don't give her food off our plates. Baby food doesn't cut it if we are eating.

Yes!!! If I eat something like chips that she can't have she'll try to lick my lips after I eat them!

N could be off playing and I swear she has a sixth sense when I'm eating. She will stop what she's doing and come and cry/whine and grab at whatever I'm eating. She doesn't do it to DH though! I usually just share with her (if it's healthy) or get her the gerber puffs and she's happy.

This word for word

She attacks me. I mean, she crawls into my lap and tries to grab what I have. I've tried to give her puffs, and she put them in my cereal bowl so that she could have them out. My child is a little aggressive.

Yes. She cries pretty much everytime we're eating and she's not. Unless she's really into a toy or TV. We normally have her sitting with us while we eat so she's eating with us too.
