Welcome to YTF Community, a place to safely share in the challenges and joys of feeding our families. And make all of it easier!
I have been thinking a lot about how my third kid completely changed my perspective on feeding toddlers.
He, unlike his sisters before him, was so much harder to feed because he has never been as motivated by the pure taste of food. With my first two, it hadn’t really mattered how I served or plated a meal—they ate it if they liked it!
Which meant that just when I thought I knew what I was doing with feeding kids, I had to learn a whole new approach. It was quite the learning curve and some days it felt a lot like throwing darts and hoping one would land. But within a few weeks, it actually started to make a difference in the foods he would eat. The ones he would try.
And amazingly, it wasn’t actually more work.
