“Johnny doesn’t like meat and veggies any more, all he wants to eat is fruit and bread, he used to eat meats and veggies” laments a worried mom to her pediatrician. The pediatrician tell her not to worry toddlers go through phases of being “picky eaters”.
Yes your toddler may only eat a little bit of food, but still has lot’s of energy. That is because between the ages of one and five years old, an appetite slump happens, your toddler is growing at a much slower pace and they don’t need as many calories. They eat what their brains tell them to eat and when to eat.
Consider this - is your toddler really eating a small amount of food? You may be basing their eating habits on your own eating habits. Most adults eat by the clock, out of boredom, or for emotional reasons. Your toddler is still in tune with is body’s hunger cues, and will he’ll eat when he is hungry. So be patient don’t try to force little Johnny into a by the clock eating pattern, research suggest that this may lead to weight problems later on.
So if Johnny doesn’t want to eat when you eat, let him play with that new gift basket of that was was filled to overflowing with all those unique baby boy gifts
