For many parents, feeding their kids is a bit overwhelming, especially in the beginning. It’s really straight forward when they are babies, right? Milk, then baby food. Simple. Things start to get a little tricky when real food is introduced and the bottles and baby food are weaned away. Those babes turn into toddlers and the eating transition can be challenging. I’m not just talking about how to get them to start eating table foods, I’ve already covered that in: How to Transition Your Baby to Table Food. It’s all the other things that come along with this transition like when, what, and where to feed them…. when and how do they feed themselves… how long should they sit in a high chair… etc.
Okay, if you weren’t overwhelmed already, I am probably overwhelming you now! Obviously, I am going to walk you through the most common mistakes parents seem to make and how you can avoid them to get your kid’s eating started with a good foundation. As an early intervention occupational therapist, these have been common problems I’ve helped parents with over and over again, and they are mostly simple things that the Pediatrician doesn’t have time to tell you or may not even know.
Staying on Baby Food Too Long
Going to get this one out of the way first. Generally speaking babies should be starting to eat table foods around 8-9 months and should be done eating baby food by their first birthday. Of course there are exceptions to this, especially if your child has developmental delays. Each child is an individual and I do want you to follow their lead, BUT often I see parents sticking with baby food way too long because it is easier or THEY are uncomfortable exposing their child to more table foods. You may think, where is the harm in it? Although most kids will move onto table foods fairly easily, some can get stuck in a rut and refuse table foods if they are kept on baby food for too long. If you need more help with this transition check out part one and two of How to Transition Your Baby to Table Food.
Abandoning the High Chair
I know the big high chairs can be cumbersome in kitchens and the trays are annoying to keep cleaning, but these seats and their ability to confine, ahem, I mean keep you child safe are the best bet for a while. Babies have learned to associate eating with this chair and toddlers are notoriously distracted. If you try to have them eat at their own little table or at a big table before the age of 2.5, you are most likely going to be in a constant struggle just to keep them sitting at the table and their eating habits will surely suffer.
There is nothing wrong with keeping your kid in a high chair or booster seat with a strap until they are 3. If you never stray from this, they won’t ever know the difference, sitting in a high chair or booster is all they have ever know. Once you let them kneel on a big chair or don’t strap them into the booster, it could be very difficult to return to the original set up.
This is my favorite strapped booster seat, I’ve used it for all my kiddos, until 3 years old and beyond really. Plus, it’s portable!
Once you do move to strap-free eating situation, lay the ground rules quickly about staying seated. If you child insists on getting down, meal time is over for them. Make sure they understand this and follow through. Click here for more info on setting up a schedule and spacing meals apart.
UPDATE: Check out 8 Steps to Keep Your Child Seated at Meals and to make sure your child is positioned correctly in the booster you are using, you’ll definitely want to head over to The Best Seated Position. You’ll find helpful pictures and the high chairs and booster seats I use and recommend.
Constant Snacking
I have to admit, this is probably my biggest pet peeve and the most prevalent error parents make. (Warning: stepping onto my soap box) Somehow our culture has evolved to constantly feeding our kids, most of the time we do this to pacify them. We hand them crackers or cookies in grocery stores, doctor’s offices, cars, parties, and even church to keep them quiet. It doesn’t always stop there. In the beginning, it can be hard to find a schedule for eating that works and leaving food out all the time can seem logical, or meal times become stressful and schedules are abandoned because it seems easier. It may be easier in the short term, but in the long run, it will become more difficult to get good eating habits established.
When kids are given snacks endlessly, the message sent is that we don’t need to sit and eat together (yes, even if it is just a snack) and that we can eat whenever we want. I think it is important to teach kids to respect meal time in it’s own right, so they can develop healthy eating habits for life. Constant snacking totally defeats this, and as I have discussed previously, snacking usually ruins their appetite. To learn 5 ways to increase their appetite, click here.
In my day job (as an occupational therapist), I see huge changes in a child’s eating when the family moves to structured, spaced out meals. At home, I also see a dramatic difference in my kid’s eating when they have snacked too frequently.
Toys at the Table
No toys at the table might seem obvious to some of you, especially parents with babies that aren’t really trying to pull this stunt yet. I assure you there will be a day when your toddler is insistent and will ultimately throw a tantrum just to have the truck or doll at the table with them. In the moment, it is very easy to give in because you are exhausted and don’t have the battle in you. However, this is a battle worth fighting, even though that toy may be keeping them in their chair, it will mostly distract them from actually eating. Sometimes it helps to place the toy in a spot where a child can see it (sometimes that makes it worse!). Either way, once your kiddo knows that you mean business about no toys coming to the table, they will stop trying.
*If your child is receiving feeding therapy, some therapeutic strategies employ the use of toys at meals.
Eating Alone
Eat with your kids. Often when we start babes out on baby food they are on their own schedule and we focus just on feeding them at their own meal time. This should be short lived, if ever a scenario at all. If possible, it is a great habit and benefit to the baby to eat meals together. As they start to eat multiple times a day and begin table foods, try to find a way to have your eating schedules coincide. Serving your kids solo means them missing out on a variety of social interactions, as well as the powerful tool of modeling. These mini-me’s just want to emulate us, and while we all know that they observe everything that we are doing, we often forget to apply that to eating. They notice that the broccoli is on our plate and what we like to eat. Not to oversimplify, but If your kid never sees you eating the broccoli, they might not eat it either.
Please don’t fret if you have already begun some of these habits, my hope is that this information will empower you to make some changes that will lay the groundwork for good eating habits throughout your child’s life. Although it may take a little more time to undo some of what I discussed here, you can get back on track by slowly making changes. Pick one thing to focus on at a time and be patient!

I was very interested in the article on picky eating toddlers. I have a grandson who’s about 14 months old. His parents have pretty much given up putting him in the high chair because he doesn’t want to eat there. Instead, they follow him around with the plate of food and put it in his mouth every chance they get. Obviously this is setting up very bad habits. How do I get them to change this without being an intrusive mother-in-law? It breaks my heart! I understand children learn the most before they’re three, he’s learning he can do whatever he wants give me some advice I can pass on tactfully 🥴.
Thank you very much,

P.S. are you able to notify me that you’ve given me an answer? I may not be able to check this website again, as I’m not a tech wizard in finding things 😉
Hi Carol! Thanks for reaching out! It can be tricky with family dynamics! But it’s definitely worth mentioning to your grandson’s parents, so that they can avoid any future mealtime issues and prevent the struggle from getting worse. First, it’s highly recommended to keep toddlers in a highchair or booster seat with a strap on it during mealtimes until they are 3. Use the strap at every single meal! Once you open the door to a strap free life, it can be difficult to un-do. So if he’s not used to that position, slowly reintroduce and be consistent. That strap will save you tons of battles, and will not only help make mealtimes easier, but will make it safer. It’s important for children to not be distracted or running around while eating- when they’re seated and focused, it makes for safer chewing/swallowing, prevention of choking, and healthier eating habits. When a child is focused on their eating, it’s easier for them to listen to their body’s cues. We have a blog post that goes over more tips for being seated at mealtimes. Another approach would be to send them the link to this post 🙂
I believe it will send an email letting you know of a response, but just in case, I will send this response directly to your email as well!

Hi Ashley! Hope you’re well!
So my little guy is 21months old with a good appetite, but constantly wants to watch tv while eating. If we say no, he refuses food, and starts to cry. He won’t let up till he gets tv. Any advice l/ tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!
Our son is 10 months old and is a great eater. Our problem is his pace and how to get him to slow down/ ask nicely for more. If we are serving the food to him he makes a loud “mmmm mmm” sound and then immediately starts it again after having a bite. If we have the table food cut up in front of him, he continues to add food to his mouth even when it’s already full.
Hi Brittany! Thanks for reaching out! Since he’s eating fast and stuffing his mouth, try serving smaller portions at a time. This will help him to slow down and eat/chew one at a time. Sometimes kids stuff their mouth because of a sensory processing reason. Sometimes kids can’t feel where a single piece of food is in their mouth very well, so they stuff a bunch in. Other times, they just like the pressure on their cheeks from all that food. If this is the case, they may need some sensory strategies with eating. Try using a vibrating teether or a toothbrush to brush the sides of his mouth between meals. That pressure may help with his sensory processing!

hello – insightful article. My baby is 8 months old and have noticed her flapping arms (usually when playing) and also when put on high chair. Because of this, after she picks the food, she flaps and throws off. She no longer is able to reach the food from the floor and we keep offering new pieces. However, we tried to sit her on the table when food falls while flapping she reaches for it again and tries to take her to mouth. Does this mean we cannot use high chair or should we still continue to use high chair? We are unsure how to teach her to stop or reduce flapping. We try to eat with her and avoid any distractions. Appreciate your view on this.
Hey Ash,
I would say that still eating from a high chair is beneficial. I’d make sure she has good positioning with her feet supported as this can help ground them. But also, you can try different proprioceptive activities prior to mealtimes to see if it helps decrease her flapping so that she is able to self feed!

Thank you for such a wonderful article. This really helps get some basics right being a first time parent.
My daughter is 15 months old now and not been a very good Easter right from the beginning. She has been fussy with eating all the time. I’ve offered her variety of food and she would just reject it. I’ve finally managed to reestablish the habit of sitting in a high chair and eating. She does eat a bit better when she is hungry but My biggest concern right now is that, she throws her food all around like it’s something to play with. Telling her not to do it makes her do it more. Is this just meat eating? Will she get over this period and start up be respectful towards food ? Am I encouraging bad behaviour? I’m soo worried right now. We land up turning the tv on to distract her. ( we currently do not have a dining table at home, do I have her high chair next to my sofa and I eat along with her, trying to demonstrate how to eat). Is this wrong?

Hey Suni!
Thanks so much for reaching out. We love that you’re looking for help already at this age!! Even if you don’t have a table at home, we suggest pulling the highchair and you’re eating area away from the tv. A blanket on the floor or a chair pulled over to the side for you to sit down works great 🙂 Throwing food is so common! You’re not alone. We suggest to try to remain neutral and use a phrase like “our food stays on the tray”. We have a free online mini course going on right now. We’d love to have you join us! The next class is Tuesday at 2pm EST, but we send out replays afterwards. You can sign up HERE!

Hello!
Our little one seems to be hungry all the time! He is 19 months old. He wants breakfast FIRST thing as he gets up, then is hungry for a snack around 9, wants lunch by 11, has his midday nap and then is very hungry once up, and then demanding dinner by 430! Screaming dinner time/banana/toast etc. It makes cooking his dinner very difficult as he is tantruming at this stage. Any advice would be great!
Thanks
Hey! That’s actually really common. It sounds like he’s eating every 2-2.5 hours, which is really close to our suggestion of every 2.5-3 hours. So many kids out there LOVE early dinner times! You might include a more filling food with each meal or snack (usually protein or fats tend to be more filling). You can check out our filling snack ideas. They can be used anytime, not just at bedtime!

Hi!
My 2 year old eats in a booster seat at our dining table. For the past few days, he refuses to have the chair in our dining area. He wants us to move it to our porch and eat there (strapped in his chair with his tray), while we also eat in the same area with him (we have benches where we can sit to eat). Is this a bad habit? We are having trouble holding our boundary because it causes a really bad meltdown, not just a regular tantrum.
Thanks in advance!
Hey! This is really common, especially around 2 years old for kiddos to want to sit somewhere else. Having kids sit at the table is one of the foundations for mealtimes, so you might want to stick to it! We have an article about strategies for staying at the table. It might be helpful! Meltdowns can be really tough! Check out our post about meltdowns vs. tantrums!

Hello,
I don’t have a child or anything but I am a nursery practitioner in a nursery. I was wondering if you could help me and give me advice. About a month or two ago I’ve had a new little boy who is 1 year old, he is really happy during the day and when I sit him down on a strap in chair at meal times he whimpers a little bit, I sing him some songs which calm him down, then I give him the food and he uses his hands to grab the food and put it into his mouth which is good, but this only last between 5-10 minutes then he wails and throws his head back so he is looking at the ceiling and lifts himself up in the chair and grabs onto me and pulls himself up. I get him out to give him a cuddle but all he wants to do is throw himself backwards to lay flat on his back with my arms supporting his back and look at the ceiling. It’s frustrating because I’ve mentioned this to his parents and they re shocked because at home he sits nicely in his chair and eats his food. Can you help me please I feel like I’m loosing a battle and I’m getting frustrated and upset because I feel like I’m not doing anything right.

Hey Natalie,
Thanks for reaching out! I’d try to get more information from family to see what kind of seat he is in at home, and what is happening then. Are they utilizing distractions, is he getting a lot of sensory activities prior to meals? Is he eating the same kinds of foods, etc. To see and compare to what is happening when he’s with you.
Having some sensory heavy work activities prior to meals can be really helpful in getting kids to sit longer. I know there isn’t distractions where you are, which is great but seeing what is happening at home may help!

Hi,
Thank you so much for the wonderful Article. My only issue with my 16 MO is, he is more interested in my plate than his. Even though we always sit together and have exactly the same food as him, but he wants food from our plate. I am worried that this could bring problems in the near future when we will go out or attend a big family dinner.
Hey Thanks for reaching out and sharing with us! We love that you are sitting with him and having the same foods, that is huge! I would just try to start modeling and pointing to his plate when he wants yours and showing him the same food. He is still young so it is great to start the good habits!

Hello! My 11 months old baby suddenly started holding food in his mouth. I give him mashed purées. He throws out finger foods. Everything was going well. But 2 weeks ago, he developed his habit and hasn’t taken a single bite of purée yet. He dropped 1.5 kgs of his weight as well. How to overcome this habit? I’m extremely worried.
Thanks for reaching out! That can be really scary when our little ones stop eating, especially when they start losing weight. It might be helpful to have a check in with his doctor. He is around the age where he might want to start feeding himself. You could try to preload a spoon and give it to him to try to self-feed. Our free table foods workshop would also be a great fit!

Hello,
In your above comment when you say sensory heavy activities do you have a couple of ideas that would be helpful? I’m having a bit of trouble keeping my 18month old focused on eating at meal times.
Hi.
Very informative post.
My 11 month old baby doesn’t want to sit in the high chair. She screams and wants to come out of it.
She wants to have only breads and rejects anything that is runny in consistency e.g porraige.
She will play and eat 2-3 bites from her hand and that’s it. Her meal is over.
Kindly guide me what shall I do.
Hi Ankita! Thanks for reaching out! In regards to her not wanting to sit in her high chair, we have an article that goes over tips to help with that! (Keeping her on a schedule, keeping mealtimes between 10-30 minutes, making sure she’s seated comfortably, etc.) And with her eating, keep offering her food variety, while also promoting a no-pressure environment; not forcing her to eat anything she doesn’t want to. Allow her to touch her food and attempt to feed herself with her hands- this will help with any sensory sensitivities she may have with those runny textures. We have a free workshop all about table foods! Save your seat here!

Hi there! My toddler is 2 1/2 and is a good breakfast eater. But he refuses to eat dinner with us. He loves rice mixed with chicken and will eat it if I offer it to him in the bathtub, but refuses to eat it sitting in his highchair for dinner. When he wakes up from his nap at 2:30, he doesn’t get much else than a drink before 6:30 PM. And he still will refuse dinner. I have to keep him on a strict routine and start our bedtime routine at 7:30 or else he won’t sleep through the night. I’m not sure if it’s a timing thing but I can’t afford to not give him dinner so I always end up making something else because the repercussions of that or that he doesn’t sleep through the night and wakes up hungry. I don’t wanna keep feeding him in the bath but I resort to doing that Because I might’ve just slaved over a meal and I am not interested in giving him peanut butter and jelly on a daily basis. What do you recommend?
Hey Jessica,
We do recommend sticking with a schedule and know how hard this can be. Typically kids need 2.5/3 hours space before meals, so you may need to try to look at closing the gap as he may be overly hungry. Also, eating at the table with everyone and doing this during all meals can be really helpful so he can see other eating and getting into a routine. I’d check his seating as well to make sure he is comfortable and in a proper positioning for eating all meals. You can read all about seating here

My son is 23 months old. He usually eats wells in the morning but we have always struggled with feeding him
In the evening. Once he is done eating, he gets his bottle of milk, which he will happily finish. There are days when he won’t eat properly even in the morning, he will take few bites and leave the table. Should I give him milk if he does not eat? I don’t want him to go hungry but I also don’t want him to think he will get milk whether he eats or not. Please advice.
Thanks for reaching out. We do typically recommend providing milk with their meal, rather than after. You can have a smaller amount of milk so that they aren’t just filling up on that, especially if they are able to eat and enjoy the foods you are providing. He may be knowing that milk is coming and holding out.

Hi! My son is 13 months old (11 months old corrected age). He used to be a really good eater, but now refuses to stay and eat in his high chair for more than 10-15minutes. He tends to gag a lot when he eats (or refuses to eat) in his chair, but this doesn’t happen when we let him crawl around while feeding him. I feel like the gagging could be a sign of stress, which is why we just let him out of the chair for the rest of his meal. A part of me just wants to give in to feeding while he crawls around because I don’t want him to lose weight since he’s catching up weight-wise. Any advice?
Hey Sarah,
I’d try to do some sensory activities (heavy work) prior to sitting in the high chair to see if this will help him to be seated for a longer period of time and be calmer to sit. You can check out our article on keeping kids seated during meals, and also I’d check out his seating to make sure he is in a good position. Check out the article here

My 13 month old has never had a huge appetite but has usually been good in terms of what she will eat since we started weaning her. However, all of a sudden she has become incredibly fussy at lunch and tea times and is not at the point where she is refusing anything I give her for tea. I tried to feed her myself to which she shakes her head as if to say no so I allow her to try feed herself as she is very independent but instead she spends the whole mealtime playing with her food chatting to herself. The minute we show any sign of trying to encourage her to eat she starts crying. We try our best to eat at the same time at the table with her and make a huge positive fuss when she does eat but there seems to be no pattern in what she will and won’t eat at the moment which is making it difficult to know what to feed her.
I’m torn as I’m more concerned about her being full and not going hungry but my husband wants to help her learn and not to get her own way which isn’t helping as we are struggling to agree on a joint way to go about it. At first we thought it was teething as she had 4 molars come through all at once but that doesn’t seem to be bothering her anymore.
I must admit I am very guilty of giving her snacks I know she likes in order to go down the baby aisle in the supermarket or when I need to get something done so I don’t think that has helped. I’m also still breastfeeding (3x a day) so I do know she has some food in her but eventually I will need to stop which scares me as I won’t have that to fall back on.
Any tips or guidance would be such a help!
Thanks!!
Hey Natalie,
Thanks for reaching out! I would first look at when you are providing the snacks and if that is impacting her eating. Try to get on a schedule so that you are only eating during scheduled mealtimes at the table. Also, I’d try to remove pressure from the meal, this can be really helpful as well. You can feel free to save a seat in our free workshop it may help you get on track with these tips. Save your seat here

Hi ladies
I have a 15 month old little boy. Up until 11 months – my little guy was a super foodie & ate 98% of what I gave him without problem. Suddenly before his first birthday, he started having periods of 6-8 weeks where he tolerates nothing except a handful of items (fruit, cereal, yogurt) – I have noticed part of these periods has included signs of teething but I’m not convinced that’s the whole reason.
In between he will have 3-4 weeks of amazing eating again. It’s come to the point where since he hasn’t eaten a ton in the day- he’s waking very early – which means I’m waking early – which means I’m exhausted.
I have found that I can usually get him to eat by distracting him with activities and yes *sharp intake* toys at the high chair.
I know this isn’t good practice so I’m desperate for any additional insight and advice. Should I wait out the teething period so he’s getting the nutrition he needs so everyone’s relatively happy?
Thanks for reaching out! Teething can be a huge factor in eating, especially if he seems to go back to normal after a period of time. I would try to provide soothing items to his gums to see if that will help him in eating. If after the period of teething is gone and he’s eating everything again, I would just keep an eye on it. If you are having trouble re-introducing those foods after he starts eating again, then I’d make sure to check out some of our resources at that point. But teething can be hard, we get it! Hopefully you get through it soon!

My son eats at 6:00pm as bedtime routine starts at 7pm. Unfortunately it is too early for us to eat dinner as one normally cooks during the bedtime routine. We have a set menu for our 15 month old as he is very picky. Sometimes he opts to throw everything and not eat. Dinner is the hardest meal. One day he likes chicken and the next hates it. It’s a struggle to get him to eat we make him 4 things at once and can’t get him to choose. Our nanny gets him to eat lunch always. He is always in the highchair, no toys. Only the tv in background to distract him. He won’t eat fruit so snacks are limited. It’s a struggle.
Hey Krista,
I would try to sit and be present with him as much as you can at that time. Also, changing up the foods that he does eat, making sure there is at least one thing that is his preferred food. You can learn more about how to set this up and having a more positive mealtime in our free workshop. Save your seat here

My child is 8 month old she used to eat food well but all of sudden she started holding food in her mouth for long time and she will take forever to swallow and she will get tired sitting in a high chair for long time what’s should I do and also r we supposed to give toys while they are eating ? Plz reply
Thanks for reaching out. There could be a number of reasons for holding food in her mouth. I would try to work on providing a drink to help wash it down. We don’t recommend providing toys or any distractions at the table, so that the child can engage with the food. We do have a free workshop that can be helpful to walk you through this information.

Additionally *sorry* he gets very distracted at every meal time, often ends up hanging over the side or reaching for anything so I’ve epically failed snd he has a toy attached to the tray to try and keep him upright. Kind of failing at what to do, we didnt experience any of this with our first son so I’m at a loss.
So, I’m embark to say that unfortunately guilty of the mistake of allowing toys at the table during mealtime. This habit started when my son was battling constant ear infections, as a way to get him to eat when he wasn’t feeling the best (the ear infections went on for several weeks before the drs decide tubes were best). Now it has become a never-ending habit that has resulted in me even feeding him half of the time bc he’s playing instead of focusing on eating.
He’s almost 2 1/2 yrs old, so I know he’d be old enough to understand if I start talking about it ahead of time and say no more toys at the table.
So, am I’m best off to just pull the trigger and battle out the tantrums that might result after for a few days in hopes that he quickly catches on that a)no toys & b) he’ll have to feed himself or he’s going to be hungry?
Thanks for the advice to someone who currently feels like a mom failure!
Hey Ashley,
First of all you’re NOT a failure AT ALL!! These things happen, and you did what you needed when he was going through something painful! You’re learning and you can move forward to work on it 🙂 As for pulling the plug or doing it slowly, it’s completely up to you. We do have families that will completely take it all away and deal with the tantrums for a few days, but get through it and be done. We also have families that will work through it more slowly, only allow at beginning or after they start and slowly increase the time of being at the table without the toys. Either way is fine, it’s which ever you feel is best for you and your child!
Hope that helps! Hang in there! We are here for you!

Thanks Desiree! I appreciate the insight! I think cold turkey will probably be the way we have to go with this little one, especially since I already know waiting until he’s started to eat to let him have something, etc. will only result in him being upset and not eating anyway. Might as well not drag out the process longer than we have to. Wish me luck!
Awesome Ashley, glad you know what’s the better option! Good Luck mama! Just hang in there!
