@blwmealsapp: Things nobody tells you about the 12-18 month era pediatric feeding edition⬇️ Share this with whoever is on dinner duty with you so you know you’re not alone in the toddler trenches! 1. They eat something, you think you nailed it, so you buy it in bulk? The winds change and now they hate it. I don’t make the rules. Normal. 2. Don’t look at them at meals. Eye contact is how they know they have an audience, and toddlers don’t perform without one. Eat your dinner like they’re not even there. Normal. 3. They become a berry or banana monster. It’s a canon event. Every toddler must pass through the era of eating exclusively blueberries and screaming for “nana.” This is somehow the only exception to rule one. Normal. 4. They refuse to drink water from THEIR cup, but will guzzle yours like they just crossed the Sahara. Same water. Your cup just hits different. Normal. 5. Wipe their face at the END of the meal, not during. Every mid-meal wipe is a personal betrayal and they will treat it as such. One wipe at the end, if you enjoy peace. I’m a pediatric dietitian with two toddlers of my own and I promise you: this isn’t a you problem. It’s just a them being 12-18 months old problem. 🫶 Follow along while I talk about navigating kids meals!
