How To Get Your Toddlers To Eat (+discount & giveaway!)

in Featured, Food, Parenting on 08/23/16

Just kidding – this title is misleading because that task in impossible. I’m lucky if I can get my two toddlers to consume one meal a day! I will have a silly list later about how to get your toddlers to eat!

You would think that even when you ask them exactly what they would want, they would eat it. But that isn’t the case all of the time either.

Another fun thing about meal time is when they have a favorite food that they LOVE to eat every day for what seems like forever – and then all of the sudden it will be like you are serving them dirt and they refuse it completely… Even though they eat literal dirt sometimes too. (Insert eye roll emoji)

All of that aside, mealtime can be so fun even though it can be so stressful too! Even if the children aren’t eating what I made them, at least they can have their meal on wonderful plates made from recycled milk jugs!

Replay Recycled Giveaway and Discount | How to get toddlers to eat at mealtime

For now, here’s a silly little list about how to get toddlers to eat every meal:

  1. Strap them down
    1. High chairs are the best inventions in the world. My children would never ever sit down for a meal if it wasn’t for high chairs
  2. Feed them PB&J every meal
    1. It has to be better than fast food right?
    2. Confession: my oldest might have had some for breakfast AND lunch more than once.
  3. Offer bribes
    1. Cookies have to be the best toddler motivator. ever. – amiright?!
  4. Cut things into cool shapes 
    1. Why do my boys eat pancakes better when they are shaped like Mickey Mouse?! Who knows but it works!
  5. Use awesome colorful plates
    1. Check out Replay recycled and their amazing colorful sets!
    2. You can find them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest!

    My daughter could eat pancakes over and over! She love them with bananas, chocolate chips, blueberries, etc! She could eat them everyday if I’d let her!

    I need the regular plates and white! I have the aqua divided plates plus sippies, utensils & snack pods. They ARE the best.

    My toddler loves smoothies, so that’s a great way to get fruit (and sometimes other hidden things?) into her

    My toddler loves fishsticks. It needs to served as an option for every meal. It can be disguised in cottage cheese, covered in ketchup, cut up and mixed in noodles, mixed in with canned corn or be there in some other shape or form. But Fishsticks must make an appearance or the meal is unacceptable and will not be eaten. Babysitters quickly learn the fishstick rule or find themselves cleaning up a beautifully prepared meal which has been declared “yucky” and is now decorating the floor.

    My kiddo loves pasta with veggies and peanut sauce – but only certain pasta shapes. And no yellow veggies. It’s baffling!

    My oldest would live on cheese quesadillas if we let him! He’s gotten more adventurous, but it’s a safe bet that he will eat cheese quesadillas. Love these plates!

    hahaha, I was hoping you would have the miracle solution. 😉 Same here, I’d be lucky if there’s *one* thing my kid likes on the dinning table each night.

    I have an 8 month old, and am anticipating the days where she’ll actually eat off a plate! Right now her favorite foods are apples, plums, and sweet potato. My sister has 5 children and swears by Replay! Nothing but good things to say!

    Our pediatrician said pb&j was actually a great option when our 3 year old is in one of his really picky eating stages! So ped and toddler approved! ?

    Love these tips! Coincidentally, my daughter will only eat if she’s NOT sitting in her high chair these days. We love Re-Play Recycled, too! 🙂
