I am so happy I found this video! Thank you, thank you, for talking about your struggle with getting your daughter to eat. Everything you mentioned your daughter does not like to eat my daughter is exactly the same. I honestly can not believe it. I’ve watched many videos and I have talked to so many moms and did some research and never found anything similar and most moms said they never had this issue. My daughter is now almost 17 months old and the struggle has been crazy, I honestly feel so defeated most days. I sometimes just don’t even know what to feed her anymore. She’s also in daycare so what I can pack for her is limited which makes it even harder. I remember one night my daughter just would not eat dinner. She barely ate anything all day. I just sat there and cried. I felt like I was failing. I feel like I spend my day just thinking about what I can feed her. It has slowly gotten a little easier, it is a process. I wish I found this video sooner. It helps so much to hear other stories and not feel so alone. And even reading through comments I see there are many mamas struggling with picky eaters. Love your advice and thank you again!

She literally eats in one day more than my picky son will eat in an entire week !!!

This is so reassuring. I always see “picky eater” videos but never see any with extremely picky kids like mine. I can relate to you so much thanks for the video

Great realistic video, it's good to see a mama upload a video with the struggles of feeding a toddler, it's not easy, your doing an amazing job! Thank you for the advise 😊

Well done mummy. You're doing a good job. It's your job to decide what and when to feed your baby, it's baby's job to decide if and how much they eat

Since she likes banana you could try a banana egg pancake. 1 banana, 1 egg. Fry it on low until brown on each side. They are so good. I put peanut butter on my sons.

That's the sweetest thing " thank u momma"

I'm a mom of three from Finland. My best advice is that the whole family eats the same food at same time on the table without TV or any other screens.

I love that you do the tv thing in the morning. we do it randomly for supper! :)

Thank you for the encouragement through your vlogs on feedering a toddler

I’m a mom of a 20 months old son who’s also an picky eater. He literally eats mostly fruits and won’t try any other new foods. It kinda stresses me out wondering what to buy or give him to eat. I’m so glad I found your video (channel). It’s really helpful to me.

Thank you so much for talking about what you'd learned so far on the course. I'm struggling to get my 22 month old to try new foods so there were a lot of super helpful ideas mentioned for me to try. New subscriber right here!

I have been binge watching your videos! Idk how I didn’t find your channel earlier! Love the food ideas and love the honesty about motherhood! what a beautiful family❤️

Try to have family meals at least one time a day, I’m sure she’ll notice the difference and will get motivated seeing you guys enjoying a meal with her.

Love this ive been struggling with healthy snack ideas and love these. Also love your accent!

Love! You did awesome on the video, my toddler is the same way when it comes to she doesn’t like to always try new things. She looks everything over!

Oh my goodness! Her smiling face with her cereal!! 🥺😍

Also I’m a new subscriber. And I have to say THANK YOU! Thank you for keeping it real and giving us advice.

So happy you did this! I always need ideas. I have a picky 20 month old girl who happens to be allergic to dairy and eggs and doesn't like veggies unless in a pouch. Luckily she can eat yogurt because she LOVES it!

I am so glad i found your channel! My daughter is super picky as she had eczema. Now that she has outgrown most of her allergies she has become very picky. It was so disheartening to see all the other videos where kids would eat everything. Comforting to see i am not alone😊

Omg she is so adorable🥰

Super healthy meals, I love it!💗💗💗💗

Hey Kayla! I really enjoyed this video! A lot of helpful tips. I would recommend that you guys eat together. My baby girl was a picky eater but I've noticed that when we eat together she is more motivated to eat. Especially when we eat the same thing.

My daughter eats very little some days and a little more on other days so I understand the struggle but I can tell you’re doing a great job and I want to encourage you.

Thank you for this video!! My son is about to turn two in March and he’s a very picky eater.

Great video!. Very informative, which grocery stores do you shop from? Will like to try these options as well. My toddler is very picky as well.

I loved this!!!

Love this video thank you 🙏🏼

I am so glad I found your page! My daughter is about to be two in April and she is a picky eater. 😩

I have a very picky eater also.... almost as picky as Yours but I have found that finding a dip helps her eat a whole lot better. Mine loves ketchup, ranch, honey mustard and queso and will eat chicken nuggets and French fried and pizza if she can dip it in one of those. She will also eat quesadillas and taquitos if she has queso to dip it in. I guess it makes it a game for her and more fun and def helps her eating!

She is adorable

My daughter is in a similar boat to yours. I made the same mistake of keeping her on purees for too long because I was afraid she would choke on real food. We sit as a family together for dinner and I think that helps. One tip I learned was to give her a plate of what you know she will eat and introduce one new item each meal time. So that she could start getting curious and maybe try the new food. My daughter is very similar to yours. She doesn't really eat meat. My daughter now eats turkey sandwich slices, grilled chilled from the BBQ, hot dogs (I know they're not that great but at least it's some meat.) Also maybe you could just hand her a piece of meat and see if she at least grabs it.

This video is awesome! Thanks I’m struggling with my child as well, she’s a picky eater 😭

Oh my word, that "thank you, mama!" when you gave her that banana was too stinking cute! 😍 Love this video-- my daughter just turned two in December too, and eats a lot of the same things. She's a total fruit machine, too 😄

Oh I feel the stuggle momma! My 22month old used to be a struggle to eat anything! I just kept being persistent even tho it worked my nerves and patience. Also my girl was breastfed up til a month ago and I was told some breastfed babies don’t like some textures of foods so I’d shred the chicken and started her on that and after a little bit she ate it and worked her way up to cubed chicken and noodles. Also I’d eat in front of her and she’s always loved to be like momma so she would eat what ever I’d eat. But anyway my girl I hope babydoll starts eating more options!

My almost 2 year old is so picky too! Thank you for making this video relatable to us mamas who have picky eaters. My daughter calls her milk “leche” too 😊

She is so adorable!!!! My son goes through picky phases and it's stressful trying to figure out what to feed him that won't end up getting thrown away. :( I like all the sippy cups you're using too!

I loved this video. Riley is so adorable. And it’s so sweet seeing Joe being cute with you. My daughter who is almost 2 would live on only fruit, yogurt, and cheese if I let her, haha. I liked the protein muffin mix - I’m going to have to try that! I’m definitely guilty of bribing her into eating her meat and vegetables - it’s hard not to because you want them to eat food that’s good for them. Have you tried steaming some cubes of sweet potato? That’s my daughter’s favorite and she’s like Riley and won’t eat carrots or corn either. Good luck to you, mama - you’re doing a great job!

Thanks for sharing the tip about not taking it personally when the child doesn’t eat. I was a picky eater as a baby too so I am going to work on my patience

Great video 😍

I love your videos 😭💕

I have an extremely picky eater son he is 2 yrs , i feel so bad Cray and i feel like I’m loser , you help me a lot today thank you so much

I love feeding littles.

That's very different from what portuguese toddlers eat. First of all, SOUP! (vegetable soup with either fish or meat there too). And then, they eat a little bit of whatever we adults eat - and at the same time and table. No special 'baby food' at all.

My fiancé's brother is still picky and he is 16. Even my sister-in-law is super picky. Some people just like what they like and have aversions to certain textures. I get that toddlers can be different because they are always on the move.

I’m sooo glad I come across this video! My little one is turning 1 this Saturday and he is such a picky eater. I am wasting so much food and time in cooking. He was great eater when we stared to introduce him food and since it just got worse. He also don’t eat eggs or any meat 🤷🏼‍♀️

I just watched your other videos about what she eats ! Just took my one year old off of formula completely but luckily he hasn’t been to picky

Ok my kid feels normal now 🙌❤

Have you tried her on cooked spinach with a little butter and salt? My 1yo loves cooked spinach alone and also in eggs.

This video was so helpful! I’m pregnant with my first child and I’m already starting to worry about what I’m going to feed her when she’s a toddler! 🤣 definitely going to save this video for future reference!

Will she drink smoothies? Easy way to sneak in some veggies or even protein powder, especially if she likes fruit! We did that with my son and bought him a cup with a straw, worked great for us!

Love the idea of muffins. My 2 year old also is fighting food. She also hates bread, cheese, most pasta (only Pennine), nothing creamy, or with sauce. Its all texture with her. She loves rice, so we blend meat and vegetables and mix it in with the rice with lintel soup (daal). She eats that no problem. Im struggling with lunch ideas.

Hi thanks for your video! Have you tried making patties with ground turkey, ground chicken, ground beef etc? My 14 month old baby who doesn’t love textures is the only way he will eat proteins! I understand your frustration 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I have those utensils and they work great

Your a good ma’am thank for sharing

I don’t even have kids but these are fun to watch lol 😆

i dont know why im watching this im 15 but shes so cute and using the spoon so well 😭

My toddler is picky too. I wish he would eat fruit 😩😩 I need to find those pea cups at our store. That seems so much easier. It gets hard cooking and preparing food for them when they don’t eat it. Is there a lot of sugar in them?

Thanks for sharing. And for being honest. I see comments saying that their kids are great eaters and while I’m happy for them that doesn’t help those who are struggling. My first two kids were great, non picky eaters who would eat normal food, pasta, meat, potatoes, veggies, fruit, sandwiches etc but my last child has been different even following the same method as the first two. My method was to put things she liked, things whe would try and things she didn’t like at each meal. She also always had at least a variation of what the other kids and adults were having. Plain bread and grated cheese and steamed squash rather than a grilled cheese and soup for the rest of the family. And we all ate together with no tv or screens. Not perfect and at two she has a small appetite and things she won’t eat but she’s a lot better now

You're doing such an amazing job! I was just wondering how you got her off bottle? Or get her to drink milk out of a sippy cup instead?

Hehehe I'm also in the same situation,God sometimes I get frustrated when they don't eat,it seems they can even go without a full stomach the entire day!

Omg that must be so hard!! My baby Jackson looooves his protein more than anything, and bread and literally everything really! His favourite is chicken!

ur baby is so cute and i like ur all video pls make some video how to practice our child to talk

My son is now 15 months and he eats everything. So thankfully it’s easy to feed him because he usually just eats whatever we have for dinner. Although I hope when he turns 2 he doesn’t start becoming picky 😫 I hope Rylie starts to like more foods to make it easier for you mama!! Love you videos

Very helpful I have a picky eater

awwww i love seeing joe hug you cause we don’t see him often!! soooo cute omg🥺🥺

America is soo diffrent from europe... my 1 y/o eats the same food as we do. Like real meals , pasta, rice, veggies, fish, meat, etc . Not just crakers & pouches , that would not fill up my little one😅 that are all just snacks for my children .

i can definitely relate to the protein struggle 😩 it drives me crazy

Hello, where did you get your necklace. I love your videos! Ty!

Vegetarian toddler 😁 wonder if she would like veggie burger or tofu 😁 she’s adorable

Very helpful and mine is very pick very difficult now to eat only biscuits

I am putting some mixed meat (turkey) with yoghurt and some gerber souce ( apples with beet or apples with peaches) and my daughter doesn't recognises meat in it and eats it.

She is cute and her voice is so cute

Would like to see mommy cooking some meals for baby girl not only packed food ....

My second daughter is honestly an amazing eater I appreciate it so much, but she is severely allergic to treenuts and egg whites. I am just browsing around for recipe inspirations. Also she's 15 months old and has 3 teeth only so far. Please share any good recipes with me!

If you said she only eats peanut butter for protein and no kind of chicken/turkey etc. What’s wrong with her getting her chicken/meat from the “smoothie pouches”?

I also have a very picky toddler. He eats less foods than your daughter. Struggle bussing here as well.

Have you tried sautéing the peas in butter or ghee? To mix in some extra fats and also introduce different flavors to the mix? Also gummy vitamins are a huge lifesaver!

People tell me I am a bad mother because my toddler is 2 and she is a picky eater. I am glad that I found this video.

way back in the 80s you could buy those glass bottle baby foods, but I just gave the kids real food in small little bites, like eggs, cheese, etc...hard to remember exactly what foods- that was in the 80s.....I remember Cheerios too. I also made home made apple sauce, French toast fingers...things like that......

How do you get her to sit so still? How do you get her to not hurl her bowl through the room? How do you get her to not drop and smash the iPad?

Happy Friday!! Hope you enjoy the weekend!!

Thank you for sharing this.❤️👶🏻

Do more toddler meal videos

I know you liked the canned packs of peas. I like to keep in hand frozen peas/veggies for my toddler and I just microwave a few tbsp at a time but keep the remainder frozen. We love the kodiac protein pancake mix to make cookies. We used and adapted the cookie recipe on the back. I use bananas instead of additional sugar and omit the chocolate chips since I don't usually have them on hand. My son likes to help pour in the oats and flour ingredients and then he has me turn on the light to see them. I've tried different variations where I use canned pumpkin and cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. Also does Riley like dips? Maybe she would have fun dipping some veggies like steamed baby carrots or steamed broccoli. Even if she didn't eat then that would get her some exposure. Keep at it momma I know it gets frustrating. It sounds like you're getting some good tips from the course.

Hy..sis i love so much ur vedios

Questions does staff u show its in UK or America?

I thought the natural peanut butter has to be refrigerated?

I never realized you spoke Spanish. I’m Uruguayan and am having my first baby in May and my husband doesn’t speak Spanish but I want to teach my child, how do you incorporate Spanish?

have you tried heating the wafflez

What brand is the green divider plate?

Yeah my daughter doesn’t eat any protein no bread no chicken no meat so I’m on the same boat as you it’s a huge struggle but this really helped she likes bananas which is always good :)

My 1yr old gags with everything I put in her mouth and spits it out😩 She was born early and I always had issues with her eating since she was born. I tried every formula and eventually had to give her Nutramigen which was $50 a can and still didn't work too well. The struggle is real!

does your baby need an ipad to eat her meals

I'm reading The Adventurous Eaters Club by Misha Collins right now and it's all about combatting picky eating! It has some really great advice in it, I love it so far :)

Hello everybody, I am here to seek help from all.of you, I am having terrible problem with my 2 year old son, he is extremely picky about food..there is a day when he is hungry and he is ready to eat then there is horrifying gap.of 3-4 days in which he eats nothing except having milk.it has been happening from the last 10 days and I am veryyy worried ..what should I do .I have tried everything ..he used to have an apple a day sometimes a banana but now nothinggg at all. Help me

Is the copper bracelet decorative or utilitarian? Whenever the pediatrician says is the right time to allow a child to go off full-fat milk, and still have the brain getting what it needs for proper development, is the right time. I'm sure she gets fats and dairy from other sources. The docs should know what all the studies show. I take it Riley has never eaten a meal as a social involvement with other people, so needs the TV for company while she eats? Isn't it difficult to find an appropriate number of suitable things for her to watch? It's a lot of screen time. Does it make it hard for her to focus on people, especially when out for a meal in a public place? Fruit and cereal for breakfast sounds good to me. For protein will she eat egg salad or tuna salad or ham salad that is pretty well mixed? Those chips you showed - some kids love just plain old sugar snap peas in the pod because they are crunchy and sweet for a veggie and you can walk around with them since there's no goop. Don't the pouches with chicken and turkey give her some protein? You seem to have a good selection of things for her to graze on. It's a variety, which should help her get used to different shapes and colors and textures in foods. So many kids go through a fussy eater period and so many have requests meant to forestall bedtime. Do any of these books speak about a screen being a distraction even at a family meal, which takes the child's mental attention away from eating and getting on with it while the family is at table? It is so good that you know you need to keep presenting her with lots of possibilities. One day something will click and a week later something else might. She probably did need more BLW and not all pouches early on to get used to new foods showing up. But, my brother ate only peanut butter, bread, fluff, jelly, canned tuna fish, maybe a couple of breakfast foods during one period in his toddlerhood and he now travels and eats things in faraway places that I am guaranteeing you that neither you nor I would probably consider palatable. LOL. He's fine.

Do you give your kids Vitamin D drops. In Switzerland they give all babies vitamin D drops to take from 2 weeks-4 years. They do this to prevent Rickets disease. Do you have to do this in Miami? I'm going to run out of drops right when I move back to Miami. I'm lazy and don't want to go to the pediatrician right away so if I do need to do it in Miami I'll buy some in Switzerland.

So if she doesn’t eat anything on the plate are you supposed to serve it to her again later in the day?

Omg thank God I'm not the only one my son will NOT eat unless he has his cartoon and to me it helps him eat better. And yep it works for now
