Picky eating is pretty normal during toddlerhood; Toddlers are supposed to be picky eaters; it’s kind of their way to exert some control over their lives. So take heart! There is nothing to worry about and here’s what you can do get through this phase and how you can get your picky eater to eat:

- Offer your tot three main meals and one snack daily, so he'll be getting enough nutrition to grow.

- Let your child feed himself; kids enjoy the satisfaction of feeding themselves.

- Don’t persuade, beg or watch your son eating. Just let him be!

- Try offering your child colourful and tasteful variety of food at every meal. If you want, you can keep track of what food your tot has tried and liked through our Baby Taste Tracker.

- Allow your tot to pick his food and involve him in preparations as appropriate for his age, so he can feel more in control and more enthusiastic about eating.

- Let your child practice a new adult eating behaviour (like using a spoon/ fork and drinking from a glass) at the end of every meal, in a way to boost his confidence and incite him to eat more.

- Prevent your child from getting bored during mealtime, by giving him a small toy for example or by positioning his chair in front of a window.
