Toddler only wanting to snack today
does anyone else have a toddler who has days where all they want to do is snack? Nina is refusing ALL meals today but if I give her a snack, she eats it. She is usually an awesome eater!
So frustrating!!!

Re: Toddler only wanting to snack today
DC do that often. I figure that most food experts say the best way for people to eat is to only eat when you're hungry, and stop when you're full. Also, it's better to eat 6 small meals than 3 bigger meals. If DC voluntarily eat the "ideal" way that we all SHOULD be eating, why mess with it? In the end, they get all the nutrition they need, and that's the main thing.

We get days like that here and there.
I try not to stress about it too much. She's eating something...and she's usually snacking on fruit or veggies....so I don't feel so bad about it.

I agree.
There are days where it seems like he eats ALLLLL day b/c he wants snacks.
I usually keep fruit salad in the fridge for days like that b/c he will eat a giant thing of it

Cailen is more of a grazer than a meal eater, like me. He will ask for snack items like crackers, and I know that means he is hungry. Before I let him have crackers I give him string cheese, or a banana, cut up fruit, edamame (he loves pushing them out of the pods) and cereal. I present meal food in a snack way. That might help.

Yep - Athan is like that. I think he gets that from me. I am a "grazer" - I eat snacky kind of food all days and he is as well. It's not often that he sits and eats a "full meal."
