It won't be long now before she's running around eating everything in site! ;-)<BR/><BR/>We're in a bit of an eating regression to go with our sleep regression, but I'm pretty sure it's because of her molars coming in. Hopefully, after that we'll have a good sleeping, good eating baby. Someday, right?caramamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02327695885346537321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-13024554299708347582008-05-06T20:35:00.000-07:002008-05-06T20:35:00.000-07:00Oh the planning.

I went through this exactly with my son! I was so exasperated... But, on his timing and not mine, he started eating lots of different stuff. Pretty much overnight, he went from barely eating any table foods to eating like a horse. Try not to stress. I stressed SO much and it did me no good. Now in retrospect I so wish I hadn't worried about him. He does what he needs to do in his own good time. Just keep offering a variety of foods. Eventually she'll start to enjoy it...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-21051954960879752342008-05-06T11:47:00.000-07:002008-05-06T11:47:00.000-07:00Actually commenting on your "Food Fight" post...I ...Actually commenting on your "Food Fight" post...<BR/>I went through nearly the same thing when my daughter transitioned from the infant room to the one year old room at daycare. What I quickly found out was: 1) Peer pressure is a beautiful thing. The daycare allowed her to have bottles for a two-week transition period (sippy cup offered first and bottle only offered if sippy cup refused). She transitioned to sippy cups at daycare without much fuss because she sort of "got" that that's what you do at daycare. At home, she still wants bottles and I'm fine with that. 2) She still doesn't eat much of the food offered at daycare except snacks (carb-type snacks) so I send her with a container full of goldfish crackers, raisins, saltines, etc., whatever snack foods I know she'll eat. If she refuses the food at daycare, they offer her the snacks from her container. I make sure to feed her as much as she'll eat before/after school, including as many bottles as she wants, and she's been no worse for the wear (weight gain is still okay per pediatrician). So, if your daycare is willing to be a little flexible, maybe these ideas will work for you...
