how to make children between one year and two years eat food?

Answer 1

Sit at the table for all meals (parents and kids), put food on their plate (or high chair tray) and let them feed themselves. Don't let them fill up on juice, they need to eat solid foods.

Answer 2

Does your child eat anything at all? Are you still bottle feeding or breastfeeding?

A child between 1 and 2 has no sense in danger, can not cope with to many choices and has limited memory span. All children need a routine and consistancy.

If you are having difficulties getting the child to eat period there may be an underlying problem. Lots of toddlers go through this phase though, they are are used to the consistancy of formula or breast milk. Talk to your pediatrician about this.

If it's about introducing new foods, be creative. If your lil one is refusing certain foods find nutritionally equivalant foods to replace in your toddler's diet. Again ask your pediatrician for some advice here.

Take care.
God bless you and your family.
HTH.

Answer 3

I have four children and in my experience just keep making them the foods you want them to have and when they get hungry they will eat. My pediatrician and I discussed this subject many times over the course of the years.

Answer 4

Put it tin front of them at every meal and when they get hungary they will eventually eat. Don't give snacks or milk between meals and only a little but during the meal and only after they have started eating.

Answer 5

Babies grow 300% in their first year, to do this they need lots of food, sometime in their second year they will stop growing so fast and therefore their appetite will drop, just keep the fluids up and keep trying with the food, serve smaller portions

Answer 6

Stop rewarding them with treats and easy to fix junk food. They figure out real fast that being stubborn and throwing fits will get them what they want. NO MORE JUNK FOOD. Feed them what you fix for dinner and if they don't eat it, they will eventually get hungry and eat what's in front of them. Pssst! No one has ever died from it.

Answer 7

You actually shouldn't make children eat, they are like any of us, if you are hungry you will eat. Now children are very busy, so give them finger foods, they love them. Carrots, cut up apples, ham slices, bolognie, etc.

Answer 8

Just cut down on their between meal snacks especially 1-2 hours before mealtime. NO JUICE, make them drink water, no milk before meals.

Answer 9

Starve them for a couple days...

Answer 10
