Amma – completely wrong JD. Every Indian amma is singularly focused on on making her child gundu. Just forget it and let her be – She’ll be absolutely fine and be a healthy child. Nature intended human babies to eat and eat they will. One day less, one day nothing and the other day just fine. Regular meal times, food on the table, no forcing to eat and no in between snacks and all will be well. Experienced father talking 🙂 Didn’t talk this way when the child was a baby though :):)

Experienced hand speaking,had to agree.
But i dont hv the intention of making her like me,i prefer her to be lean,but she is becoming underweight these days,she is curving along 5th centile in her weight graphs.
Her choices vary everyday,the same food which she enjoyed 2 days back will be rejected today.I have a stipulated shedule of feeding and i stick on to it.No snacking business.No forcing to eat since it leaves only frustrated me,but no food on table,cant even imagine that,i was restricting her to eat within kitchen before,but now she is walking nah running across every room.

Ah!, the joys of being a kid. Reject food at random whims and fancies.
If I try doing it, I’ll be thrown out of the home. 🙂

good one… have you tried playing her favorite rhymes.. I used to do that for Adi and try** to feed her quickly as she doesn’t even realize that she is opening her mouth
** – Its still a try. I am not commiting that it worked all the time 😦
by any chance do you have a mottai maadi with pura (open terrace with pigeons) at your place.. that helped me in a great way.. we visit terrace for every meal and I used to feed her as she runs around the pigeons. poor FIL did all this for lunch when I was away at work…
I totally agree with Ramesh… Dr. also say the same… dont worry abt your child’s eating habits.. they know when they are hungry and will take care of it…
huh my biggest comment ever…

The pigeons thing is a nice idea 🙂

Would you like to try it with ambuli?
April 21, 2010 at 4:25 pm
Comments from all experienced hands,loved it.
No ani,am not showing anything on TV,but sometimes her dad shows some rhymes in mobile and even then she spits it after few spoons.
//** – Its still a try. I am not commiting that it worked all the time
LOL!!
Yes i have one,may be evenings i can try,noon it will be scorching heat.
Even her doctor says so.
Biggest comment,same with me.

hahaha…i know its the most tough task in the world to feed a mischevious baby..Kudos !!!!

Thanks for the kudos…

As Ramesh says, pasichchaa thaana saapiduvaanga, but you have to look for tell-tale signs of hunger. Forcing them to eat at regular intervals irrespective of whether the kid had any scope for exercise to digest the food saying, ayyo kuzhandaikku pasikkumaey will not result in their eating. My girl lives on air-exchange diet. She would be happy to eat breakfast at lunch time at her wish. Boy is okay, only that he does not understand when he is hungry and Señora knows it pretty well to get him to eat proper with some kenjudhal, konjudhal, mirattal etc. 🙂
April 26, 2010 at 9:06 am
When ever she is hungry,she comes to me demanding food,the problem is she takes only few spoons and later pouts.Eating is pretty dull idea when comparing with raiding the fridge or misplacing kitchen stuff or some exploration equal to that.Than 3 large meals am giving her few more smaller meals since she eats very less in a single go.
And to add to this,she rejects every second thing in this world and every first thing is rejected when repeated on 3 day continously.

Kids are like that. Vera vazhi illai. As long as they eat something it is fine. Does Ambuli like cheese (slices)?
Ippovum at home, saapaattukku paduththal. Boy always whines, I don’t want paruppu saadham. I want only white rice or green rice (pudina thogayal saadham) 😦 Eating out, everything is fine. Pizza enna, garlic bread with cheese enna, pasta enna, veg burger enna, sandwich enna. Mmm 😦
April 26, 2010 at 9:56 am
Cheese was okie sometime back,now a strict no no.Anything first time or first few times she eats,later rejects.Garlic bread is okie for her.Two things which i can give without much of a fuss is banana(that too ‘rasa kadhali’),youghurt(plain or fruit).Sometimes dosa even finds a place in the above list.
Rest is all a battle,you will have to entertain while feeding,whenever enetertainmet stops the food comes out.
I certainly envy those parents with kids who can gobble up everything.
