Randomguy Posted August 4, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 4, 2014 Disinterested, kind of. She is hungry, then eats a little and then wants to play, even though she is still hungry. Should I give her alcohol and hard drugs to spur her appetite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted August 4, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 4, 2014 Tell her about all the starving kids in various parts of the world. My parents always used that one on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted August 4, 2014 Share #3 Posted August 4, 2014 Have you tried condiments? Some kids will eat anything if it has ketchup on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted August 4, 2014 sometimes I think parents fuss too much about their kids eating. You know, I have told RW that she will eat when she gets hungry enough, and that I mostly don't care if she eats or not unless the hunger makes her unruly. When she is unruly, I want her to eat bunches so she will be her normal cheerful self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Far ★ Posted August 4, 2014 Share #10 Posted August 4, 2014 Or, perhaps if you weren't sucking on the other boob at the same time, she'd be less distracted?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoseySusan Posted August 4, 2014 Share #11 Posted August 4, 2014 Teaching kids about mealtime with family is tough when they don't want to eat and they don't want to just sit there and wait for you to finish eating. It's ok for RB to stop eating when she loses interest in the food, but try to keep a positive activity for her while still at the table. Fluffy thing to fidget with, song to sing, book to browse, doll to feed and care for... Reinforce that the table is where you are together. It's annoying when kids get up from the table to go play and then continually interrupt for attention from the adults. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
