Okay so Rhiana has not been a picky eater until just the last few weeks. I will make food for supper that she has eaten before and liked but now will not even touch it. She won't even try it. So we tell her that she has to finish her supper before she can have anything thing else to eat. If we go somewhere we will bring the food with us. So far she is absolutely refusing to eat it. I want her to learn that she can't be picky. Am I doing the right thing? If not what else can I do? I really don't know what happened she use to be such a good eater but lately things have regressed. Can someone give me some tips or advice?

Hmmm...does the timing line up with your baby going home to Jesus? It may be related to that. (hugs) honey. Keep doing what you're doing. Maybe see if she can tell you what she's feeling? Is she absolutely not.eating.anything? Or...??

I had been wondering if it was related to the baby going to Jesus. Our routine has been very off in the last few weeks. She usually has no problem with lunch, it is just supper that is not working. I guess we will see what happens. Thanks!
Hi Crystal! Don't know if it's good advice, but here it goes. When we lost our precious little one 8 wks. along (not very far along) the WHOLE family was affected. I'm not kidding - it was felt by very young and old. That's why we had a little church memorial service - it was beautiful and helped with the grieving to move on. Your little picky eater is probably noticing you, while not sure what's going on. Keep the normality like you said. Try to get her to eat somewhat firmly but also ease up not to have to eat the whole thing maybe? If you are showing your grief ALOT maybe try more of it in private? Maybe she feels something is wrong with her? Maybe try a bigger meal at lunch and smaller meal for supper for now? Hope this helps.
