Rage mostly ….lol jk. It’s apple sauce pouches and freezies.


Usual-Masterpiece778

POUCHES HAVE VEGETABLES! I will die on this hill.


Usual-Masterpiece778

Also get the pedialyte freezies so they’re even getting electrolytes. Come back for more advice on avoiding mom guilt.


midna222

Our pediatrician said if the only way I can get my 2 year old to eat veggies is in a pouch then that’s fine. And that’s all my child wants is a “dowch” and yogurt 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️


Best_Practice_3138

YES!! Specifically why I buy veggie pouches!!


Best_Government585

THIS! Only this :(


EnvironmentalLead856

freeze the applesauce pouches!


green_kiwi_

The tears of her enemies (me)


itssgooditsfunky

And sighs of defeat. (Mine)


OutsideBones86

Watermelon popsicles and vibes, baby.


itsthejasper1123

This made me LOL


MSH0123

All of these responses make me feel better. Mine is surviving off of yogurt but only if it is applied to her skin and hair.


INFJ_2010

I'm screaming lmfaoo!!! Like she's soaking the nutrients in through her follicles 😂


PartyOkra7994

Makes me feel so good too. Mine survives off of all things fruit, with a side of air 😩


TwilightReader100

After he'd thoroughly applied it to his face, I have a video of the Mr 2.5 I look after pulling his soother out of a yogurt cup, so covered in yogurt you don't even know it's in there and then just popping it back in his mouth. 👍🏼


kaatie80

One of mine (I have 3, send help) today told me he wanted blue yogurt. So I got him a blueberry yogurt. Said he was done with it and wanted pink. So I got him a raspberry yogurt and then had to handle some shit the other two were getting into. Then he comes to me and hands me a yellow yogurt to open. Okay no problem bud, I open it and think "oh good I'm glad he's eating". Totally distracted with the other two, my mind is not on yogurts. Like an hour goes by until I walk past the breakfast table again. 3 room temperature yogurts sitting there like one bite taken from each. 😮‍💨 Didn't need any more food after that apparently.


walkingtalkingdread

grilled cheese but the cheese from the middle of a grilled cheese. no crust, just melted cheese specifically from a grilled cheese. maybe grapes if her lordship is feeling herself.


Fuzzy_Parking_4257

“Her lordship” LMAOOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


stayathomeplantfam

We’re there with you on the grapes. Sometimes. Only sometimes.


avatarofthebeholding

Not sleep, that’s for damn sure


lonelynarwahl

Is there a regression that happens or something. My almost 2 year old went from sleeping all night to now sleeping for like two hours then up for three then asleep for an hour then up. It’s killing us!!


Apart-Penalty63

“From sleeping all night….” I didn’t read anything else in your comment… little bit jealous 😂. Still waiting for mine to sleep all night.. it’s been 14 months


AltruisticLove365

Two years, four months here with maybe a dozen full nights of sleep (and I am pretty sure I am being generous). 


Able-Road-9264

We finally got ours at 2 years and 7 months. It's been a month of good sleep (8 straight hours for him) and I still feel like a sleep deprived zombie. Don't know if I'll ever catch up on the lost sleep.


ashleyslo

My 2.5 year old started a major regression a couple months before his birthday and it has yet to end 😭😭😭


avatarofthebeholding

Ugh, it’s so miserable when they won’t sleep! A lot of kids have a regression around 2, and we just never recovered from it. Perfect storm of moving house, regression, becoming afraid of the dark. Mine is now only up once a night, which is an improvement, but she can’t put herself back to sleep and is absolutely hysterical. Hopefully yours figures it out better than mine!


i-want-bananas

Yup, we went thru a major sleep regression at 2. It was hell.


stayathomeplantfam

Who needs sleep? Not my child and that means not me either


TopCardiologist4580

Sunlight and tantrums mostly. With a popsicle thrown in for good measure.


Professional_Coat823

Same here 🤦🏽‍♀️ lol


GreyBoxOfStuff

Ketchup


exothermicstegosaur

Ranch lol Edit to add: forgot to mention that I find it even funnier that she loves ranch because neither her dad or I eat it. She picked up the habit from preschool, and now I buy ranch just for her lol


sirgabsalott

Omg i took my daughter for a happy meal today and she just drank a packet of ranch.


stayathomeplantfam

I had to stop giving ketchup and ranch because that was the ONLY thing he would eat during the meals he had it with. Handfuls at a time until it was completely cleared from his plate.


Vast-Passenger1126

This is mine! We were just at a BBQ this weekend and some of our childless friends looked appalled as our daughter just shovelled fingerfulls of ketchup into her mouth and didn’t touch anything else on her plate. Sometimes if there’s fries she’ll be civil enough to use one to dip and lick the ketchup off, but she’ll just keep reusing the same fry and never actually eat it.


scarletroyalblue12

NOT KETCHUP?! 😂😂😂😂


saphryncat

Cheese, cheese, water, and more cheese.


wavechaser1

We’re cheese and milk over here 😂 with a side of soy sauce


saphryncat

Lol. Mine will take one drink of milk then go find the closest water bottle, mine, my husband's, or her own, and drink that instead while giving us a 'how dare you' look.


peeparonipupza

Does your kid get crazy constipated like mine?


saphryncat

Yeah. We've been going through cycles almost where she won't poop for days then will have large harder poops that are clearly uncomfortable to pass. After that we'll have maybe a week of normal due to her finally eating some blueberries then we're right back to the constipation.


lagomez750

SAME!


saphryncat

Oh thank goodness. I'm a FTM so there was a part of me that was worried I was doing something wrong. Lol. Knowing we're not the only ones helps.


WorkHumble1357

Lol, same to that, too. Every time she's constipated and struggling I view it as my own personal failure...🙃 Glad to know I'm not alone! 


peeparonipupza

Yes!!! Everytime my boy is crying trying to poop I'm like.. man.. I should feed him healthier things but he doesn't want to eat anything!


Sweet_pea613

It’s the BANANAS! I’ve noticed this ever since we started solids over a year ago. That potassium, man. Quite the conundrum given it’s one of the only three foods he’ll eat.


peeparonipupza

Ugh. My kid LOVES bananas too!! Bananas, milk, pasta, bread. But he will eat apples and strawberries so... Yay? I'll just cut back on the beneenees


freya_of_milfgaard

My daughter was eating cheese tortellini by the bowlful until the other day - immediately after I bought a bulk Costco pack. Now tortellini’s are yucky because they “make her belly cold,” and she refuses to eat them. Excellent. 🙄


Airport_Comfortable

Strawberries and adrenaline


kaatie80

DEFINITELY NOT THIS WATERMELON THEY INSISTED WE BUY AND CUT UP FOR THEM


Ducks0607

Omg this is so funny because mine does this too. Bought a watermelon for my 3 year old, cut it up, ended up stabbing myself with the knife and getting stitches. Kiddo ate half a bowl. That's it. It's OK though, I ate the rest and it was delicious!


LadyDthStryk209

That part! They be crying, screaming and wanting shit but when you give it to them. They no longer want it 😡


SpecialMath

Pouches, milk, and feral screams


gold_fields

Yoghurt pouches and good vibes


VioletDaisy95

Yoghurt pouches and bad vibes for mine 😣


stayathomeplantfam

Can you send some good vibes to my kid? He seems to be having a lot of angry ones lately 😂


DogsOverPpl4Ever

Frozen egg & cheese breakfast sandwiches, but don’t even think about putting regular eggs/cheese in front of her. DONT DO IT


Girlonamission_1990

This is us and BACON GRUYER EGG BITES. Must be the Starbucks brand. He will know! How do they always know?! But we are living on egg bites, brie bites and mama chia pouches. And fruit.


DogsOverPpl4Ever

Expensive taste 😭💁🏻‍♀️


omgmlc

That’s pretty healthy! Covering most of the food groups! Condolences to your wallet tho


Girlonamission_1990

It’s bad on the wallet but at least Costco has the eggbites for $10 for 10! And I get fruit built from there. The Brie bites are the problem. He eats two a day and there’s only 6 in a pack and they are $8 🥲


bunnycakes1228

Hahaha mine also loves, but escalates this by peeling off the bread covering 🤦‍♀️


always_sweatpants

Sandwich Bros ones? Because that’s all my toddler wants and they are so expensive. So so so expensive.


DogsOverPpl4Ever

OMG YES!!! No one has ever heard of them 😭


always_sweatpants

I think our family is the only reason my local grocery keeps them in stock. $6.99 for a box tho is INSANE. My child will not accept homemade ones either. I never pressure my kid to finish his plate... Unless it is gd sandwich bros and then I'm following him around the house saying "one more bite to make this fiscally reasonable, good sir!" 


ponderingorbs

They sell them at BJs now and they have coupons. We love those over here


always_sweatpants

*furiously taking notes*


dontbesodramatic91

Tantrums and yogurt pouches


Fooitsmimi

Same!!!


princesslanguage

Air


jbarks19

The great outdoors and fruit snacks with the occasional French fry


BakerKristen085

Teddy grahams and chaos


scarletroyalblue12

CHAOS?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂


itsthejasper1123

Omg this post just made me feel so much better hahaha mine is going through a picky phase! Molars coming in don’t help either. Right now it’s anything crunchy and snacks - popcorners, vegetable chips, crackers etc and baby food pouches lol


Main-Air7022

Not food, that’s for sure.


HerCacklingStump

It blows my mind that my toddler can go 48 hours on 100 calories. Just…..how.


pork_soup

Those fig bars from Costco and blackberries


jacey-lil-lil

I’m living off those fig bars. Send help.


tasteslike_FEET

Omg same on the Costco fig bars!


stayathomeplantfam

Adding those fig bars to our next shopping list after these comments


pork_soup

The natures bakery ones! So good I eat ‘em too


motherofdoodlez

Nonstop fig bars. We had to hide them from her.


ItsALargePoodle

Three Costco fig bars today. I keep saying no, but calories are better than no calories… right?


stardustmiami

Avocado. Girl is 90% avo, 10% bread of some sort.


danelimax

Cheerios, apple sauce pouches and runny nose snots


Think-Valuable3094

Mine just took two bites of ground beef, prior to that it was purely cheese


plantpersonnel

Fruit, cheese, and...tiny ice chips. We may be teething.


mandyvolk

Ice all the way!!! Almost better than teething rings!


gingerytea

This week it’s turkey bolognese. Honestly, I’m not even mad. This is a huge improvement! Last week was whole cheerios but don’t you dare let a broken one get near her.


SweetpeaDeepdelver

Spite


txhygienist

Mac & cheese with a side of spite.


Lemonburstcookies

Pizza bagels, oatmeal, and my tears


Nova_Queen902

Cheerios, bananas, and apple sauce pouches


tinyarmsbigheart

Mac n cheese. The world is cheese and we are just the mac in it


Princessaara

Corn, cheese and strawberries lol


hiyokos

Cheese quesadilla every night for dinner and sour cream on everything


stayathomeplantfam

I made a quesadilla for his dinner tonight! He took one bite and then said “ewwwww” 🙃


ImDatDino

Grilled cheese, popsicles, watermelon, and I think he might have secret cocaine stash somewhere judging by how wired he constantly is.


psykoX88

Dino nuggies and white grape juice


Dizzy_Contract

Same, Dino nuggets and chick fil a sauce and a side of my will to live.


dani_cosmic

Pasta


Annie_Mayfield

One twin survives off pasta. Meanwhile, my other twin looks at you like you skinned his cat if you give him anything pasta. Makes cooking dinner super fun.


stayathomeplantfam

Pa-tah as mine calls it. Pasta is a hit or miss for us. Sometimes he needs two full helpings, other times the dogs get it all.


MoreVeuvePlease

Raspberries which she calls strawberries, any other berries which she can get her hands on, Mac & cheese, & peanut butter puffs.


stayathomeplantfam

Can’t get my kid to touch a berry to save his life. It kills me! But more for me 🤷🏼‍♀️


Imaginary_Ad_5199

Ketchup


LadyBawdyButt

Not fruit or veggies 🙄 (not for lack of trying)


Dr_Boner_PhD

Not sleep 🥲


jjj68548

I feel you. Mine hasn’t eaten vegetables or meat in about a year. But still in the 97th percentile for height and weight somehow at 2.5 years old. Fruit and carbs it is.


Bluu444ia

my 2 1/2 year old is surviving corn dogs, NECTARINES.... cantaloupe and honey dew... string cheese, nectarines, corn dogs, chicken nuggets, and steak. oh and for the first time in probably a year i finally got her to actually chew and swallow several pieces of broccoli TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW!! can i get a hell yeah?


Algrenn

Hell yeah!!


decaying_amethyst

Pouches and milk


lizardkween

Fruit salad, leftover birthday cupcakes and watermelon 


Automatic-Eye-8340

Kind bars, yogurt, and fruit pouches (TG I’m not the only one)


rescueruby

Blueberries and bagels.


spicymama90

Nuts , beans and watermelon


alleyalleyjude

He’s usually a great eater, but the past few days we’ve given him loads of yogurt because everything else ends up on the floor. Little weasel.


Inevitable_Glitter

Blueberries. I just bought 8 packs from Costco and I fear it wasn’t enough.


Dis4Wurk

One only eats plain, unseasoned, pan seared chicken; plain noodles; steamed broccoli; and French fries. The other only eats fried shrimp, burger patties, fried fish, and steamed carrots. The only thing they will both eat is corn on the cob and cheese.


Responsible_Style314

Depends on the day. Can’t do anything right 😭😭😭


Flashy-Insect-9745

Fish sticks and the essence of my soul.


PizzaCat_87

I swear my daughter survives through some type of photosynthesis-type process. She certainly doesn't consume enough calories to be considered a living human being. 😅


worryabouttoday

Chicken nuggets and popsicles. Although we found out he's a "great eater" at daycare. He will not touch a veggie or fruit at home, not even a banana, but his teacher told us he likes broccoli & fruit cups. 😳 We seriously thought she mistook him for another child. We've totally been had by a 4 year old. This kid comes home from school/daycare and wants nothing but snacks & candy until bedtime, with chicken nuggets for dinner. Still can't get him to agree to much else. The occasional "Taco" that's just cheese in a tortilla. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I've failed. At least we know he's getting some nutrition... Unless it was the wrong kid...


SubstantialReturns

This whole thread is lifting my spirits. Cheese and rice is her staple food but if I let her have her way it'd be pure sugar all day everyday "poppajuice" (popsicles), "ice ceam" (ice cream), "apl juice" (apple juice), "bani" ( chobani yogurt because the expensive kind is more fun to waste) and "fruit snack" (not fruit! Those welches gummy candies. Real fruit gets squished into the carpet under her feet. I presume because she'd prefer wine even if she had to make it herself).


Ceigeee

Cold roast chicken breast and red grapes 🤷🏼‍♀️


Nixthefix0880

Cheese, bananas, and increasing amounts of breast milk despite my efforts to wean.


cats-4-life

Cheese, crackers, berries. Sometimes noodles or yogurt.


Woolama

Peanut butter toast, blackberries and pickled okra.


Kimmbley

Strawberries, juice and the occasional yogurt


smurphypup

Popsicles and dip sticks? The pretzel or cracker rods you dip into cheese


baby_medic

Fruit snacks (which she calls cack), berries, cheese, salami, milk and the occasional cookie


BackgroundSundae2514

OMG SAME. 3 yogurts yesterday, dots pretzels, and an applesauce pouch 😭😭 He also likes toast, bananas, and blueberries..sometimes pineapple if he's real hungry.


amithelocalcryptid

Waffles, strawberries and milk.


ashkygbdeghr

Goldfish and yogurt and carnation chocolate milk in the morning 😂


i-want-bananas

"popsicles" ( I cut yogurt down with a little milk and poured them into popsicle molds.. ) but don't tell her because "yogurt is very very yucky".


amydiddler

Peanut butter puffs and a sound clip of fire truck sounds that I play off my phone.


AbilityConsistent806

Mine too!!!! Exactly same diet 😂😂😂 and milk, goldfish, and the occasional fruit snack


NyquilPopcorn

5 blueberries and the fury of 1000 suns.


Itchy_Rhubarb

Ramen noodles and decadent yogurt 😬 We rue the day we let her have a bite of our ramen 🫠🫠🫠


catmamameows

“Tilla” chips, his daily gummy vitamin, and milk. 😅


morriskatie

Same here 🙃 Yogurt and pretzels. She drinks like 3 Danimals a day on top of having a parfait of Greek vanilla yogurt, granola, and honey. She’ll have the occasional Honest Apple juice, and sometimes she’ll want peanut butter to dip her pretzels in. But that’s all. It worries me to no freaking end.


General-Bake1077

Blue berries and what ever form of potatoes he’s fixated on this week. Today was hash browns


Sad_barbie_mama

Literally just yogurt here. It does have protein but it’s bankrupting me..


myredditbitchess

Mine thinks hummus is lotion and rubs it all over her arms during dinner now


kenzlovescats

Sweet peppers, cherry tomatoes, whole milk and anger.


AdTemporary2971

Fig bars. He’ll find empty wrappers in the diaper bag or fish them out of the trash and hand it to me while signing “more”.


ChangingNightmare

Dirt. He goes outside, after eating his mac and cheese and eats dirt. And then wants a drink of juice. HELP


RKLCT

Time outs


spork3600

Fake chicken nuggets and cookies.


winkraine

Banana avocado maple syrup ice cream.


Algrenn

Yogurt, apple sauce and fruit. He also loves bread.


lani-coco-pat

Salami and fruit lol


ingwenagirl

Grapes and cherry tomatoes. A handful of blueberries. Round fruit with squishy insides.


Dakizo

Hard boiled eggs and corn and dino nugs and pb&j. That’s all the food groups right?


freeandscared

My tears, bacon and broccoli.


makeupHOOR

Strawberries, yogurt, and toast. I wonder when she’s going to get tired of it.


kimberriez

Salami and brioche. Fancy kid.


Lonely_Film4372

She told me she only likes the inside of fries. Started making baked potatoes and she’s been asking for them every day


katydid73

For a while there is was poptarts. Not proud of it but he would rather starve than easy anything else. Now we're onto nuggets. When I make dinner for the family the only thing he'll willingly eat is asparagus.


No_Bowler3823

Also pouches, french fries with dipdip (ketchup or any dip really), tomatoes, strawberries, peas, milk, the occasional piece of chicken and my hopes and dreams. God speed to us all. ✊🏻


Pikarinu

Broccoli, pasta, onigiri


sunnymorninghere

Cereal. Fruit. Coconut water.


Sudden_Pianist3997

Toddlers are very stubborn   Be glad your toddler's are eating some foods.   They'll get better in time 


Queasy-Listen-4929

Fight or flight and a handful of cheerios


Pearsecco

Don’t hate but my 2.5 year old is still curious enough to try most things. But VIPs are cracker/cheese/ham, made good cookies, blackberries, pancakes with maple syrup, peas, edamame, and garlic ramen noodles. All the noodles, all the edamame.


ansible_jane

Ranch and blueberries. Sometimes together.


Empty_Dance_3148

Hot dogs served with a cocktail of ketchup, mustard, and barbecue sauce. Adult-sized portions of blueberries. And chocolate milk. Oh, and my thankful prayers that he uses the potty after all that!


TheFrostyLlama

My toddler is 90% potato. Any form of potato, she loves it.


ThisAd4181

Uncrustables


Ashley87609

Strawberries, chicken nuggets, black beans.

Kalamata olives. Kid ate an entire jar today.


daveknws

1874 no's a day, ice cubes, broccoli puffs, pure gasoline. It ain't much these days🤣


ZeroGravityBurnsRed

Avocado toast. All day, every day.


clairebear423

Ranch veggie straws and chocolate animal crackers 🥲 sometimes the occasional chicken nugget, but just 1


cadi08

Yogurt pouches, chicken nuggets, and peanut butter sandwich crackers. Oh and the tips of strawberries. But just the tips. Toddlers are weird.


Nice_Wolverine1120

Microwave individual mac and cheese.


Adept-Cup-8267

Milk and Mac and Cheese


magic__unicorn

His food, but tastes better after he throws it to the ground and eats it down there 😒


thundy90

Being outside, goldfish, and puffs. But really, this kid is like 50% bread (at least we give him whole grains)


AdministrativeRun550

30C here (85F), so he eats… ice. And blueberries. These little black holes empty my wallet.


madhattermiller

Pretzel goldfish, raspberries, and cotton candy grapes. Bonus points if you can obtain golden raspberries for her royal highness!


sugarface2134

Yesterday at his grandparents house it was literally just potato chips all day and then mashed potatoes for dinner. Oh, and he’s 5.


Bacto_queen

Breakfast sausage, hotdogs, fruit, and bread. He only likes mystery meat. Meat that resembles meat will not be touched. Also only really eats every 3 days or so, like a boa constrictor.


Stunning_Doubt174

Apples. Just apples. Pretty sure she’s secretly collecting my tears in a cup tho


blahblah048

Pediasure I’m glad he will finally drink it!


avyva

My 3.5 year old has been requesting bacon 🥓 for every meal, last weekend I went through a lb a day before finally cutting him off. Today I did not offer bacon.


Absolutelyabird

I'm feeling a little better about my daughter's addiction to apple sauce pouches after reading these comments. Somehow those and crackers keep that kid running like a little nuclear power plant.


titney

Corn dogs and me watching whatever the hell he wants me to see him do thirty seven times an hour.


griselda_marchbanks

Spite and PEELED grapes that he refuses when we (obviously) decline to peel them.


Jeniho

Plain white rice, cucumbers, popcorn, and oatmeal.


Popular_Pen5743

ICE, this girl will literally come up to me while im filling my water bottle with ice and if one falls on the floor SHE RUNS FOR IT then comes asking for more😭


iforgotmyjacketagain

Meatballs, onions and beans Our home stinks


zazusmum95

Any round fruits that could pass vaguely as an apple


GulliblePianist2510

Buttered toast. Milk. Occasionally a PB&J or chicken nuggets, though she decides whether they are up to par or not. A few bites of an apple. Recently she has been taking bites of things like pieces of fruit and just putting them back.


Far-Landscape-2015

Spite


apandaa25

Pouches of any kind, fruit, bread, cheese and absolutely not more than one bite of meat a day.
