My wife and I prepared salmon and baked potatoes with vegetables for dinner today with all expectations that Dakari would eat as well. He's not a big fan of cooked meals though we’ve tried various approaches including forcing the food in his mouth (he simply coughs until he throws it up). We've allowed him to get away with having an alternative meal whenever he doesn't want what we prepare (which is always). Today, I guess I just decided that was the end of that. Dakari loves to drink (everything except water). Though he screamed so hard for us to pity him, we still didn’t give in. Of course, he still didn’t eat what we had prepared. I recently read somewhere that with feeding your toddlers, the important thing is to do your job which is to prepare a nutritious (and presentable) meal and allow them to do their job which is to consume it. I can tell you that Dakari is doing a lousy job.
If you’ve been here, how did you overcome?
