how to stop or redirect toddler to food
my 15 month old can eat— apparently because at daycare they say he eats a lot but at home he just plays with his food and doesn’t eat anything. how do i redirect him? i am a FTM and kind of frustrating when he likes the food but wont eat it. he will throw the food on the ground or spread it around his high chair table.
i have tried to take the food away— he laughs then cries then i tell him “throw bad, food eat” like caveman talk
i also tried smaller portions — still throws it and laughs
tried utensils — throws the utensils and says “uh oh” or shrugs “what happened”
he still uses bottles too but i’ve been limiting it to only a bedtime one. he is super hungry but just wants to play… his weight has gone down and im getting concerned
