{12.7} How to Feed a Fussy Toddler and a Hungry Baby

Raising Healthy Mothers

Today I answer a question from a mum who feels guilty that her younger baby is not getting a good exposure and variety to food at mealtimes because of her toddler's fussy eating.

I totally sympathise, because this is exactly the experience I'm having with my younger child. I offer some tips to help expand her toddler's exposure to food in a safe and fun way, as well as suggesting ways to maintain a good variety of food for the baby without having to spend much more time cooking multiple meals.

I discuss:

• The positives of a child eating well at a a childcare or school setting, even when they don't at home

• How to maintain a family-style way of eating, without over-catering for a fussy child

• Collaborating with fussy eaters on planning meals for the week

• Introducing fun and play into mealtimes

• How to maintain a positive, pressure-free environment around food at home.

As a mum of a fussy eater myself, I know exactly how frustrating and stressful it can be when it feels your child just won't eat anything. It's why my How to Feed a Fussy Toddler workshop focuses on creating calm mealtimes, that will help reduce the stress for you and encourage curiosity in your child.
