If Your Child Does Not Eat, It Is Not Because The Meal Is Not Interesting

You do not need instagrammable meals to get your child to eat. When your child decides not to eat, it is not because you need to try harder at making the meal more fun.


Totally ok if you are trying new recipes to spice things up and you are doing it in a curious and joyous manner. It is a sign that something else could be going on if you are constantly making fancy meals for your baby, praying that it will be a hit and only to be disappointed that baby snubbed it.

Common pitfalls that may affect your child’s appetite:

  • Too much juice.

  • Too much milk.

  • Excessive snacking or grazing.

  • Stressful meal environment.

  • Child knowing that he or she will get an alternate meal by protesting.
