My Girl Is Not Eating, Help!!! by richyblink1(m): 6:28pm On Nov 10, 2017 |
Good evening mother's in the house. I have twin(identical girls) who a year and 2 weeks now. The second among them detest food with passion, and its affecting her. Whenever you bring any meal around her, she takes off. If you try forcing her, she will cry and fight. It kills me each time this happens. I checked their weight 2 days ago. The first weighed 9.4, while the one in question weighed 8.7. Though they are very identical and confuses even me at times, but the first one is beginning to be a bit chubbier than her. Note, she barely falls sick, and is very healthy. But won't eat at all. What should I do to ensure that she start eating like the sister who eats very well |

I don't think it's right to take Super Appetite except it's being prescribed by a doctor Try and introduce something different to your girl like a new kinda food |

MhizzAJ: We have tried all types of meals, but she wouldn't eat. Just yesterday, I noticed she loves tea. In fact, she drank it like her life depends on it. But the issue is, she can't just be taking just tea at her age. |

Teaveapoet: Not sure you read my write up. Nigerians are always in a haste. I should ask a year old what she wants? 5 Likes |

richyblink1: Children really love taking tea...I've seen couple of them like that I woulda said you should introduce junk food but it's not healthy Maybe she'll outgrow that habit of not eating with time |

SpyAC: Hope it has no side effect? Besides, its the second twin that's not eating. |

Kids are like that. I prefer to drink and drink any liquid than food. But I noticed that after drinking, I get very hungry which forced me for start eating. Try giving her lots of drinks to take. |
Re: My Girl Is Not Eating, Help!!! by richyblink1(m): 8:45pm On Nov 10, 2017 |
MhizzAJ: I pray she does. She has been like this since birth |

OP don't worry, she will come around. Since she likes tea, let her have it as often as she wants but don't make it too concentrated for ease of digestion and stooling. Also do not relent in presenting her food each time even though she will likely reject it. Give her some diluted yogourt too. She will be fine and so would you. 1 Like |

Hi if your daughter prefers drinking, please try baby milk?! Maybe that helps to cover the missing vitamins. Mine did the same til the age of two years, sometimes eating, sometimes refusing it. I've got twin girls too, four years old now, and one is always more choosier about food than the other one. Good luck � |
Re: My Girl Is Not Eating, Help!!! by baby124: 1:47am On Nov 19, 2017 |
doubletroublmum:This is a good idea. OP, it's a phase, she will soon overcome it. She's just picky with what she eats. So you will have to stick with baby milk and slowly try different things to see which foods she likes. You just have a daughter with a mind of her own, and another that is more open minded. They are both displaying their different personalities for you, even though they are identical. |

richyblink1: Then learn to negotiate with her. Tell her see tea if you eat your food I will give you tea. If you eat your food you can play with your toys. Also start with small portions, large portions can be scary. Please don't give any drugs except prescribed by a doctor. |
Re: My Girl Is Not Eating, Help!!! by richyblink1(m): 6:31am On Nov 19, 2017 |
Eketem: How do I negotiate with a year old? |
Re: My Girl Is Not Eating, Help!!! by Nobody: 6:37am On Nov 19, 2017 |
richyblink1:You just said you force her. That makes eating an unenjoyable task. That's why she detests food. I year olds can chose their own food by the way. Some niece of mine refused to eat baby food when we tried to wean her. She only ate what the rest of us ate at the table. That could be a challenge in Nigeria with all the pepper in the food though |
