Toddler problem. Eating pattern changed, need advice so i can stop freaking out.?

my kid is one and i noticed he's not eating like used to. He just picks at the food then he just won't eat, is this normal?Toddler problem. Eating pattern changed, need advice so i can stop freaking out.?
That is totally normal. What would be abnormal for a one year old to do is sit down and finish everything on his plate! Make sure that give him some options and make sure those options are healthy. He'll eat when he gets hungry, and if you don't make a fuss over it ((( don't freak out))), he won't get a reaction out of you. And he'll just go ahead an eat.


Also, remember he's just one. He's still experimenting with the aspect of bringing different foods to his mouth, and he's also experimenting with different tastes in his mouth.


This is what a one year old does. So, don't worry. He'll figure it out.Toddler problem. Eating pattern changed, need advice so i can stop freaking out.?
Its very norma. At that age they are interested in doing other things and eating is not high on their priority list. What i resorted to doing was, my sons favorite books were ones with real animals. We had a book he would look at while in his high chair, he would point to the animals and say their names and i would feed him while he looked at his book. he ate, but he book was sticky..lol.
I feel your pain my daughter is that way. it's not necessarily bad if he's no losing weight. I am supplementing with pediasure for my daughter, she seems to like it and it's worked.
