Does anyone else’s kid survive on snacks and snacks only?

@totocaca22 Yep, mine ate literally everything - bean soup, sushi, any curry, whatever - until he hit age 2 and started with the boundary pushing. We’re just staying the course. Offering whatever is actually for dinner for like 10 minutes, and then pouches or snacks to fill out his diet since he’s medically underweight. Solidarity!

@ruanddrew Yes! A calorie is a calorie lmao

@ruanddrew We had to do a week-long snack cleanse over the summer. She was offered absolutely no snacks or fruit. She only got “real” foods and any leftovers were later offered at snack time. She’s still picky but it did help. I also do a lot “bite for a bite” at dinner usually with fruit and it’s pretty effective for us.

@ruanddrew My 27mo is a mono mealer. She will really only want to eat one food for a day or days on end. A week ago it was waffles today it was very green bananas that she still insisted on lol.

@ruanddrew I used to joke "Toddlers can survive on air and cheetos" on some days, mine really does.
