how do i get my 2 1/2 year old to eat food all she wants is junk and DR said no milk but doesnt help?

Answer 1

Tough age!!!
I would look up kid magazines on fun wasy to prepare food.
Like using raisins for eyes a little carrot for a nose and a line of peanut butter for a mouth on the top of a peanut butter sandwidh (provided she doesn't have nut allergies!!!) Feed her high protein foods, good cheeses, peanut butter, ice cream, yogurt,
Try to make food fun.
This is SO HARD!!
You have my heartfelt sympathy...I have a picky 5 year old who is spoiled by her father, my wasbund.

Answer 2

You are the parent. You are going to have to deal at some point, with the little one throwing fits because they can't have their way. Apparently you let it get this far by allowing your child to eat junk food to begin with. Now you have to de-train him/her. If it gets to the point that you can't have that stuff in the house, then you should throw it in the garbage right now. The milk can go down the drain.

Answer 3

if all she wants is junk food, then she is seeing junk food in the house.
clean out your house of all junk. put baskets of fruit, crackers, etc. around the house. She is still young enough to adapt easily to this healthy way of eating.
good luck!

Answer 4

Offer her only healthy foods. She may not eat for a few days, but this won't kill her. When she is truely hungry she will eat. You are the parent and feeding your child healthy foods is your responsibility. She is not in charge.

Answer 5

first of all, get rid of the junk food......it's not there, she can't eat it.
second, make it fun.......bite-sized pieces, finger foods, fun foods like chicken nuggets or strips, sliced veggies, meat balls, sandwiches cut into triangles.
third, add dipping sauces........ranch dressing, mustard sauce, bar-b-q sauce, etc.
hope this helps.
