DD won't eat

[amrijane128]

She's not sick, just stubborn! For about two weeks anything we've tried to feed my 22 month old daughter, she scoffs at. I don't think it's what we are feeding her, because we've tried tons of new things, she just won't eat. She screams when we put her in the highchair, covers her mouth if we try to feed her and certainly won't feed herself. Her poops are rarely solid anymore. Like I said, it's been about 2-3 weeks and she rarely eats more than 2 bites of turkey or half of a boiled egg all day. One day she ate alot, like 2 eggs, an entire container of yogurt, turkey, beans, etc. but the stopped again. I hate that I have to pretend I'm going to eat her food to get her to eat. Even then she spits it out alot of the time.

Is this normal? Anyone else gone through it? I'm at a loss... I don't want to take away "bobo's" (she still nurses) but she's been nursing a little more and eating less. I want her to eat more solids... I don't think she should be exclusively breastfed at this age. Especially since she's been eating solids for almost a year! Any advice is appreciated!

I'm not sure if this is the same thing but we have a problem with My 27month old and food. He has food issues, and also doesnt talk. Right now he's in speech therapy and if the food problems continue then we'll have to seek occupational therapy. I'd just keep offering her some of the foods that you know that she likes. Sometimes here we have pancakes 3 or 4 days per week becuase atleast I know he will eat it. Also offer some other foods that she may not like as much WITH some of the foods she will eat. Also, we had to let brady sit in a regular chair. He absolutely refuses the highchair so we just gave up on it and let him sit at the table. For a while he wouldnt do that either and so we just let him go off, now he will sit with the rest of us beucas I think he feels left out. Try having her sit at the table to do other activities as well like coloring or things that you know that she likes to do, not just for food. If it continues I"d call the Ped and see what they think.
